Dear Joyce, Don & Max, All,
Nice to meet and talk with you. And so great to see you again, Joyce, and as your student in the mid 1970s in Pittsburgh :! Just texted my mother about this -
"Hi Ma, I was at the games in the morning, just held WUaS Monthly Business Meeting at the nearby Ligonier Public Library, and am heading back to the games soon! Just met and talked with Joyce MacFarlane McIntosh, amazingly after 45 years ... she was organizing and piping for the highland dancers
Great to rekindle our piping connection
- Scott (
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/09/primula-scotica.html)"
Thanks for suggesting Piobaireachd you find lyrical melodic pretty or are favorites SOMEHOW, Don and Max, like the following (and others) -
Struan Robertson's Salute
(lovely tune!)
Little Spree
(am playing this, and may include on album, but not totally my favorite re being beautiful )
Joyce -
Kintarbert's Fancy (couldn't find this online)
Lament for only Son

Thanks too for suggesting your husband Jimmy McIntosh's resources (and my condolences).

Earl of Seaforth’s Salute. Definitely melodic.
I’ve also remembered MacGregor’s Salute! There are so many lovely tunes to choose from.
And thank you Scott for spelling both of my surnames correctly! It’s not often done!
Good luck with all of your projects! Will help in anyway I can.

Joyce and Lyn, All,
So nice to get your email, Joyce, and thanks for suggesting exploring teaching Piping (again having just taught Piobaireachd to a student online over about 1.5 years) - and potentially regarding Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music's most beautiful tunes, - and re The St. Andrew's Society of Pittsburgh. I'd like to introduce you all to Lyn Reed Orr, who was the representative of the St Andrews Society at the information tent near the field. Thank you Lyn for making it possible to apply for membership in the St Andrews Society of Pittsburgh (
https://www.standrewspittsburgh.org/). Joyce MacFarlane McIntosh was my piping teacher in Pittsburgh in the mid 1970s!
Instead of the tentative title of "Honey Piobaireachd," I may name my upcoming album of beautifully played Piobaireachd "Prettiest Piobaireachd" - thanks to all of your great suggestions today. Pretty Piobaireachd, even most beautiful lyrical melodic pretty Piobaireachd favorites and compositions of genius somehow are what I am seeking, so Thank you!
Thanks for mentioning also, before & since Joyce's and my emails, the following tunes (other pipers not in this email thread) -
"Field of Gold" (by Donald MacLeod, so a contemporary tune, not one from the mid 1800s, and similarly ancient!) and
"Donald of Laggan" and
"The Lament for Mary MacLeod"! And
"Lament for the Children" 3x mentioned! (which I don't know very well at all).
Thanks again for your email, Joyce and communication, Lyn and All - and talking at the Ligonier Highland Games today!
I actually have a spreadsheet for most beautiful Piobaireachd tunes - to my ear - that I'm developing from a list of about 315 old Piobaireachd... And am very glad for all of your suggestions! Let's keep this piping music conversation going with time and via the Web! Thanks again!
As Aye, Scott

I have the Kilberry Book of Ceol Mor (Piobaireachd) from 1908 (1st published) and Books 3,4 & 7 of the Piobaireachd society, and the Web (which was helpful, for example, for the 'His Father's Lament for Donald Mackenzie' pretty Piobaireachd sheet music
Recently found this Twitter where a stag laid down outside my window in the SF Bay Area listening as first hypothesis to the Allman brothers in Cow Palace in 73
So so glad I learned of all these pretty or melodic Piobaireachd from all of you. Thank you for your suggestions... Looking forward to exploring these for upcoming of album beautifully played Piobaireachd - ScottMacLeod.com/piping.htm.
Am continuing to explore ways to do something new with the chord in my Walsh Scottish Small Pipes' drones on the B flat chanter so the drones I think would be tuned to b flat e flat and b flat I think. So which of these beautiful Piobaireachd are in the key of B flat such that the E flat in the drone would work? Am I asking the right questions as I explore these Scottish Small Pipes' and the B flat A and D chanters and the baritone drone? :)

'Lament for Alan, my Son' (composed by Duncan Johnstone, I think with whom I studied in a great workshop in Glasgow - and also wrote a "Piping in Scotland" paper around 1980 about as a 20 year old student in a Reed College program in Munich Germany, funded by an UNESCO ZIS stipend which paper is now in Schloss Salem, in Germany).

The idea to identify and find most melodic, pretty, good, lyrical Piobaireachd is emerging with regards to my upcoming album of Piobaireachd bagpiping music tentatively entitled'Honey Piobaireachd'or 'Pretty Piobaireachd'or (and is my second Piping album, both Bandcamp URLs accessible here -
http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm ). And this spreadsheet is to help organize most beautiful Piobaireachd -
- possibly even to rank them to my ear, or group them, along these lines ... 1) Pretty beautiful, 2) So+so, 3) Not sure, or not for me, or not pretty, or not :) I'll send you all an invite from the spreadsheet too.
Regarding identifying the Key of a piping tune, thanks to Stuart Liddell virtuosic Piper in Argyle shire for a helpful topical group lesson on this subject last year. I will revisit my notes and see what keys these Piobaireachd are in.
Further,
I postulate that a piping tune that's in the Key of A or B flat could work on an A chanter on the (Walsh) Scottish Small Pipes with a chord in the drones of A E A or on the SSP B chanter with a chord in the drones of B flat E flat B flat - almost interchangeably ... in playing Piobaireachd and exploring the potential for a chord in the drone. (Does this make sense John and Jean Walsh?:) ... But not necessarily on the SSP D chanters ...which is like a high tenor voice in bluegrass with much potential for interesting harmony in playing duets and light music (Ceol Beag).
Thoughts on this?

Joyce, Don, Ligonier Highland Games on 9/17/22 friends, All,
My goodness, Joyce MacFarlane McIntosh - just now playing (and yesterday evening too for the first time:) on Scottish Small Pipes with B flat chanter -
John-Angus Smith plays "Lament for MacSwan of Roaig" Piobaireachd at the Glenfiddich Piping Championship 2015 ...
- and it's very beautiful in a lamenting melodic pretty way. Thanks so much for the suggestion! For the first time ever, - Thanks too to the SSP bellows and my ear condition - I sang out loud with this tune, partly to express it cantabile from my body directly made possible by the SSP bellows (but not possible on the GHB practice chanter or GHB with blowpipes) ... and partly because I Heard a housemate go by outside my door whistling... And he may be becoming a trumpet player in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and partly because it's easy to do (whereas Cantaireachd singing doesn't happen so easily I'm a Taoist kind of way even:) ... On to playing and singing another or your suggestions for melodic Piobaireachd, "Kintarbert's Fancy" :) Thanks again.
In using the search field in Vimeo videos, I Also stumbled upon so many of your late husband Jimmy McIntosh, of Scotland and Pittsburgh, Piobaireachd instructions and playing. Fantastic!
Since you, Joyce and Don, (anyone else?), both have Scottish Small Pipes but you prefer the Highland Bagpipe, I think you said Joyce, - and you, Don, just got a set of Scottish Small Pipes, how long did it or do you think it will take to learn the SSP bellows? Am appreciating the Scottish Small Pipes since I developed what I'm calling 'eustachian tube dysfunction' in my right ear, and estimate it took me 2
months to learn how to use the SSP bellows initially, and am very appreciative of them and the harmonious sound and tuning too of the Scottish Small Pipes.
haven't yet invited all of us to the most beautiful Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music spreadsheet I'm developing, and want to add a few things further to it before I do.
Am also wondering how best to add these melodic beautiful Piobaireachd to Work World University and School 's Wiki school for -
Pibroch,_Piobaireachd_or_Ceol_Mor
Beyond adding this "Melancholy Thistle ... Ligonier Highland Games" blog post from 9/18/22 Sunday -
to this wiki Piobaireachd school in English, not yet in Scots Gaelic, for example.

Joyce, Don, Ligonier Highland Games on 9/17/22 friends, All,
My goodness, Joyce MacFarlane McIntosh - just now playing (and yesterday evening too for the first time:) on Scottish Small Pipes with B flat chanter -
John-Angus Smith plays "Lament for MacSwan of Roaig" Piobaireachd at the Glenfiddich Piping Championship 2015 ...
https://vimeo.com/143726070
- and it's very beautiful in a lamenting melodic pretty way. Thanks so much for the suggestion! For the first time ever, - Thanks too to the SSP bellows and my ear condition - I sang out loud with this tune, partly to express it cantabile from my body directly made possible by the SSP bellows (but not possible on the GHB practice chanter or GHB with blowpipes) ... and partly because I Heard a housemate go by outside my door whistling... And he may be becoming a trumpet player in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and partly because it's easy to do (whereas Cantaireachd singing doesn't happen so easily I'm a Taoist kind of way even:) ... On to playing and singing another or your suggestions for melodic Piobaireachd, "Kintarbert's Fancy" :) Thanks again.
In using the search field in Vimeo videos, I Also stumbled upon so many of your late husband Jimmy McIntosh, of Scotland and Pittsburgh, Piobaireachd instructions and playing. Fantastic!
Since you, Joyce and Don, (anyone else?), both have Scottish Small Pipes but you prefer the Highland Bagpipe, I think you said Joyce, - and you, Don, just got a set of Scottish Small Pipes, how long did it or do you think it will take to learn the SSP bellows? Am appreciating the Scottish Small Pipes since I developed what I'm calling 'eustachian tube dysfunction' in my right ear, and estimate it took me 2
months to learn how to use the SSP bellows initially, and am very appreciative of them and the harmonious sound and tuning too of the Scottish Small Pipes.
haven't yet invited all of us to the most beautiful Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music spreadsheet I'm developing, and want to add a few things further to it before I do.
Am also wondering how best to add these melodic beautiful Piobaireachd to Work World University and School 's Wiki school for -
Pibroch,_Piobaireachd_or_Ceol_Mor
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Pibroch,_Piobaireachd_or_Ce%C3%B2l_M%C3%B3r
Beyond adding this "Melancholy Thistle ... Ligonier Highland Games" blog post from 9/18/22 Sunday -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/09/melancholy-thistle.html?m=0
to this wiki Piobaireachd school in English, not yet in Scots Gaelic, for example.

Thank you so much for some further pretty or melodic (to my ear) tunes to my list for my upcoming album - as a consequence of asking people their favorite Piobaireachd pieces at the Ligonier Highland Games :)
Yes to the "Lament for MacSwan of Roaig" and "Earl of Seaforth's Lament" but I'm on the fence melodically with "Kintarbert's Fancy" and glad to have found a good recording for this at beautiful Blair Atholl castle on Vimeo by Connor Sinclair at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow, a former teacher of mine from a year or two ago, who did something amazing in in a lesson with me teaching Stuart Liddell's vs Gordon Duncan's styles of playing light music in one lesson, of which I have the recording, but won't post this for the time being. I had asked about how to play like you Stuart, and he showed me how, but I'm nowhere near yet :) (My lessons with Stuart Liddell from earlier these year as recordings however are posted here -

... but am seeking other perhaps more melodic interpretations of this. Does Jimmy McIntosh have one online by any chance?
Having just finished teaching a student, Taylor, on Skype, all of the College of Piping's 3 Tutorials, V1 & V3 of Light Music, and Vol. 4 of Piobaireachd, if any of you pipers are interested in Skype Piobaireachd
or Ceol Beag lessons, please let me know. Don in West Virginia as a Piobaireachd focusing opportunity? ... Building from the pretty Struan Robertson's Lament!
Other most melodic positively moving Piobaireachd pieces? Please please, share your favorite tunes further :)) ... In conversation esp. Let's create a fairly complete list of mist melodic Piobaireachd together :)
Piping Piobaireachd cheers,
Scott
Ps Most enjoyable Piobaireachd tines invitation to spreadsheet that you'd also ve able to build from still to come :)

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Red Max!
Am primarily focused on growing Work World University and School and potentially now exploring if WUaS could be incubated by Google in their offices at Bakery Square in Pittsburgh ... including the WUaS Music School, and with a focus on Scottish bagpiping. This includes potentially a focus on machine learning and AI and, for example, riffing somehow with Piobaireachd melodies with the Allman Bros at Cow Palace from '73. :) Nice to have met you at the Games!
free, open,
Bagpipe Tutorials' wiki, subject/school page, for teaching and learning:
Piping cheers, Scott
