The tunes listed so far are all pretty standard chestnuts. Things every piper plays all the time and kind of gets bored with. I thought I'd chime in with some tunes I like to play.
Okay, for the sake of argument, let's keep it limited to highland piping tunes:
1. The Desparate Battle of the Birds (Piobearachd and a bear of a piece to learn);
2. The Turf Lodge ( a great light music piece!);
3. The Little Cascade (a challenging reel by G.S. McLennan-probably the greatest composer of pipes music ever to live);
4. The Jig of Slurs (also by GSMcL);
5. Glasgow City Police Pipers;
6. The Silver Pipes of Ur (composed by a member of one of the bands I used to be in).
Love them drones!
