The Bagpipe Society

Finally!

2 tunes for smallpipes after hearing how grandly the pipes can sound…

Feeling a little daunted in January this year following the step of asking Julian Goodacre for his bespoke Leceistershire smallpipes in D, I was also thoroughly encouraged by reading “You’re never too old…(part 2), Austin, Br SSF, Autumn Chanter 2016. Not because I’m old (though I will qualify for a bus pass next year!), but because being myself a parish church organist I felt that there was a shared interest in the challenges and pleasures of playing pipes.

The Goodacres’ collections of tunes for smallpipes are brilliantly presented and I’ve found them to be very rewarding. So much so, in fact, that I’ve had a go at composing my own. I hope that beginners may enjoy them.
