This arrangement may be useful for single bagpiper and small band as well as for bagpipe band combined with massed bands. In the traditional key, bagpipe part does not need to be read, quartally harmonized with the drone notes throughout, in chaconne style, leading to a trumpet countermelody, restated by horns in a dramatic climax, followed by the melody in the bagpipes with tenor drums and light accompaniment, to a quiet close. Conductor may balance drone notes in horns to fit forces on hand.(Opt. 1 b.p.player at E) See homepage for brass band version.
