The Piper's Farewell - Bagpipes & Concert Band

Tuesday, 29 April 2025

The Piper's Farewell, composed by Ian Macpherson MBE and Scott Morton, is a deeply evocative and heartfelt work that captures the solemn dignity and quiet heroism of a final farewell. Scored for Bagpipes and concert band, this piece blends traditional Highland musical themes with a rich harmonic backdrop, creating a poignant atmosphere of reflection and remembrance.
Whether imagined as the parting of a lone piper at a battlefield's edge, or a ceremonial march into memory, the melody unfolds with both tenderness and resolve.

The melody unfolds with tenderness and resolve, with subtle crescendos and lyrical passages echoing the emotional weight of goodbye; while maintaining the proud spirit of the piper's calling.

Suitable for commemorative events, memorials, and reflective concerts, The Piper's Farewell leaves a lasting impression-haunting in its beauty, and noble in its restraint.
