Peter Maxwell Davies, who wrote the musical score "An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise" for orchestra and bagpipe 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.

"What can you tell me about "An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise"?
Every once in a while, there is a frantic, web-wide note by a piper, music director or conductor of a symphony looking to help a piper perform Peter Maxwell Davies' wonderful piece of music, "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 Stuart Liddell, Gordon Duncan and Jack Lee's come closest, as well as specific tunes, some of which are here at the Great Highland Bagpipe wiki page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Highland_Bagpipe#World_University_and_School_Links ... :)
