Scottish lamentsThe purely instrumental lament is a common form in piobaireachd music for the Scottish bagpipes. "MacCrimmon's Lament" dates to the Jacobite uprising of 1745. The tune is held to have been written by Donald Ban MacCrimmon, piper to the MacLeods of Dunvegan, who supported the Hanoverians.
History shows that the Irish and Scots both adopted the bagpipes in their culture centuries ago. Not only did they use them in wartime with their infantry, they used them to command soldiers in battle. They would use them to signal movement of troops, and would even use them to signal a retreat from battle.
It is said that the shrill and penetrating sound worked well in the roar of battle and that the pipes could be heard at distances of up to 10 miles away.
The Scottish Highland bagpipe has two tenor drones and a bass drone, tuned an octave apart; its scale preserves traditional intervals foreign to European classical music. It was once, like other bagpipes, a pastoral and festive instrument; its military use with drums dates from the 18th century.
The Piper's Lament was performed in Ottawa on Sunday as part of the national Remembrance Day ceremony, a traditional performance which originally mimicked the sounds of women and children crying over their dead.
The music of the Pipes spurred the troops on to many a victory. They were used in many great battles. The playing of the Bagpipe was banned in Scotland after the uprising of 1745. They were classified as an instrument of war by the loyalist government.
