Summer tanagers: Peter Maxwell Davies: An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise (1985) with pipes ... Didn't realize that a pipers' "A" is a "B flat" and pipers often have to tape their chanters to play this piece in the symphony, Online musical score for Peter Maxwell Davies' "An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise," While I enjoy this piece, and the innovations it represents, and the compositional pathbreaking Davies engages in ... I'm particularly curious about stellar bagpipe music, compositions and playing that really move me (loving bliss-wise plus) ... and currently for me Stuart Liddell, Gordon Duncan and Jack Lee's come closest, as well as specific tunes ... :)
