Highland Cathedral with pipes and brass

**OC Richard** · 20th December 23, 09:06 AM

I recently had the opportunity to play Major Ian Peaple's suberb and well-known arrangement of Highland Cathedral for pipes & military band. (Captain Peaple was bandmaster of the Black Watch 1992-1994).

Here it is at 58:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGRzKv49AHQ&t=3718s

I have that set of pipes, by Starck (London) and said to be from the 1940s, set up for 466 (Concert B-flat) fulltime, with a McCallum Bb chanter.

Here I am with part of the trombone section.

Thanks so much!

I had done this annual concert for a few years leading up to Covid.

This was the first post-Covid concert, and I hope to be there next year!
