The Hallowed Brae - Bagpipes and Brass Band

Thursday, 29 October 2026

'The Hallowed Brae', composed by Ian Macpherson BEM and Scott Morton, and arranged by Ian Macpherson BEM, unfolds as a richly scored piece for bagpipes, drums, and Brass Band, evoking a sweeping musical narrative steeped in Scottish heritage. Opening with a gentle, atmospheric introduction, the bagpipes set a plaintive tone over sustained harmonic textures in the winds, as if unveiling the brae in the soft light of dawn. The work gradually builds in colour and intensity, with interwoven woodwind lines, warm brass harmonies, and subtle percussion adding depth and resonance.

The Hallowed Brae also available arranged for Bagpipes and Concert Band.
