COLIN MacLELLAN/THE SALUTE TO THE GREAT PIPE
World Records, 1986, WRC1-4602
The Great Highland Bagpipe has always been one of my favourite instruments. Here Colin MacLellan gives us an excellent album dedicated to that Scottish bagpipe.
Born in Scotland, he lives in Canada (Ontario) where he recorded this disc. The repertoire is made of strathspeys, reels, jigs and 6/8 and 2/4 marches of course. But the name of the album is the name of a piobaireachd composed by his father John and gave Colin the first prize in 1984 at the John MacFadyen Memorial Trust piobaireachd composing contest. The bagpipe he played was 100 years old at the time of the recording.
here the score joined to the album of Faìlte don Phìob Mhóir – Salute to the Great Pipe composed by John MacLellan in 1983
