Download or read book Preposterous Tales to Follow written by Bill Livingstone and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-06-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a long way from a northern Ontario mining town to the most prestigious piping competition in the world, the Northern Meeting in Inverness, Scotland. It’s perhaps slightly less far when your Scottish father starts teaching you bagpipes at the age of five—but only slightly. William Livingstone went that far and more. This “upstart Canadian” not only won gold at the Northern Meeting, he became one of the world’s most celebrated pipers and for many years led one of the world’s most celebrated pipe bands. Along the way he played rock and roll to put himself through university, completed law school, got married, battled depression, travelled widely, and made countless friends (and a few enemies) among the many characters in the piping community. In Preposterous, Livingstone tells the story of his life—and especially his life as a piper—with humour, honesty, and grace. Both an engaging memoir and a fascinating behind-the-scenes window into the colourful, exacting and sometimes frustrating world of competitive piping, Preposterous is a book that anyone can enjoy, and that piping fans everywhere will cherish.

Book excerpt: Johnny O'Leary, master-instrumentalist, composer and performer, custodian of a huge repertoire of tunes adapted by The Chieftains, De Dannan and Planxty among others, blends Sliabh Luachra airs with older Kerry music, and is hailed as one of its finest exponents.

Download or read book Simple Jigs for Beginner Pipers written by Lindsay Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 53 simple jigs specially selected, arranged or composed by Lindsay Davidson for beginner pipers.The simplicity of these tunes is based on repeating melodic patterns with a limited number and complexity of gracenotes and a limited number of tricky note changes, thus reducing the risk of crossing sounds.In the quest for originality, both Glen's and Henderson's Collections from the 19th century have proven valuable resources. Tunes which are published elsewhere in arrangements by the compiler have also been avoided.This collection should prove useful to bands seeking an interesting and attractive repertoire as well as soloists seeking a challenge and the satisfaction of playing fast dance music well.Created in a small format to fit easily into pipe cases so that you can review your tunes wherever you are.
Download or read book Canntaireachd Collection Volume 1 written by Lindsay Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piobaireachd, ceol mor, is a beautiful and fascinating tradition for those who have the patience to study, sing and play it. This is a type of music which truly displays the grandeur and power of a highland bagpipe.This is not a collection of music for beginners or the uninitiated; it is intended as a handy booklet to remind experienced pipers of tunes they know and to provoke thinking about interpretation when learning new tunes. It can, however, be used as an instructional aid and reference book for those bringing new initiates into the realm of piobaireachd.Most piobaireachd collections are by tradition large format and heavy books which do not fit well into pipe cases or hand luggage. It is hoped the small format of this book will enable pipers to remind themselves of their competition or recital tunes en route to the event, and be handy whilst there.For those who use canntaireachd in their daily lives, accessing tunes purely through this medium is logical and indeed desirable. It is with this in mind that a new tune has been included here alongside old, well-known and lesser-known classics.
