Pipers: A Guide to the Players and Music of the Highland Bagpipe
The world of Scottish bagpiping is introduced in this book, which explores what pipers do, how they do it, and why. Because pipers are often skilled also on the fiddle, keyboard, or small-pipes, or as singers or dancers, their stories offer fascinating insights into the whole traditional music and song repertoire of Scotland. This book shows how traditional music, often assumed to be the anonymous product of the distant past, is the creation of gifted individuals operating in a sophisticated and vigorously ongoing enterprise. The approach is based on the real lives of gifted players, teachers, and composers and traces the evidence of transmission through the generations.
