Pipers takes the reader inside the world of the performer community
of Scottish piping, introducing the instrument itself and the
various different repertories. It also discusses piping techniques
as well as information on some of the great piping dynasties and
individual pipers. Dr Willie Donaldson shows how 'traditional
music', often assumed to be the anonymous product of a dim and
distant past, is the creation of gifted individuals operating in a
sophisticated and vigorously ongoing enterprise. Since pipers have
often been skilled also on the fiddle, keyboards and small-pipes,
or as singers or dancers, their story offers fascinating insights
into the whole traditional music and song repertoire of Scotland.
Pipers is a well-informed and highly readable account by a
prize-winning author who is a piper and composer of pipe music as
well as an internationally recognised historian of Scottish
tradition.
