Piobaireachd and Its Interpretation : Classical Music of the Highland Bagpipe

Piobaireachd and Its Interpretation

Published by John Donald, Edinburgh, 1987. First Edition. Hardback book with dust jacket, 8vo, 130 pages including the index.

Seumas MacNeill describes the structure and history of piobaireachd, studies the men who composed these ancient tunes, and examines the methods by which they transmitted them to succeeding generations.

Major-General Frank Richardson gives advice on the interpretation of this music based on his own massive experience and on discussions with leading teachers and other judges. This is the first serious attempt to explain this form of bagpipe music to the general public and to convey the old tradition of playing it for the benefit of pipers and enthusiasts.

CONDITION
A very good clean copy throughout and in a very good unclipped dust jacket. No names or writing to the book. Overall a fine copy.
