Lament for Captain MacDougall

Video presentations are a comprehensive study of Murray’s approach to Piobaireachd.

• Variations are separated to enable the viewer to quickly find any specific section of tune
• Opening out every variation with key points to look out for, Murray demonstrates these in a way they will be easy for players of all levels to understand and follow
• Subtle pulsing and phrasing covered with musical flair
• All transitions explained and demonstrated
• Sense of pacing for singlings and doublings explained in a way the player will develop a good sense of what is appropriate
• Every variation played on the practice chanter as a separate video file
• Download the MP3 recordings to hear Murray play the tune in full on the bagpipe. MP3 bagpipe recordings can be purchased separately, or as a package with the video presentations. These are current recordings made by Murray playing the full tune on the bagpipe

  What you require:

  • A device for downloading the files
  • Sheet music
