The following tune was written by Dave Rowlands for the border pipe. I recorded the tune for him played on the great highland bagpipe in response to a general request he made on the www.bobdunsire.com forums. Below is the sheet music and two mp3 files. Peace, Patrick McLaurin<\/p>\n

It is a march\/polka,\u00a0and should have an aggressive feel to it. To avoid any\u00a0confusion, as there\u00a0can be some with interpriting the music, the first part is\u00a0played twice, the\u00a0second, twice( once with ending 1 once with ending 2), and\u00a0the third part\u00a0twice( once with ending 1, once with ending 2)Haveing\u00a0played it [the whole tune] a couple of\u00a0times, the bar tagged last, should be used in place of the\u00a0bar tagged 2 in\u00a0part three, to end the tune. The music is ungraced, as written, i felt that players\u00a0would put in simple\u00a0gracings that fell naturally beneith the fingers.”<\/p>\n Bagpipe Setup = 1950’s Henderson – Selbie Drone Reeds – African Blackwood Gibson Chanter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following tune was written by Dave Rowlands for the border pipe.
