When I heard for the first time the sound of the bagpipes I loved it very much, later on I found out that my greatgrandmother Maria Wilhelmina Francoijs born Ross must have been the reason why. Her ancesters came from Scotland William Ross was a corporal in the army of general Mackay who came to The Netherlands in 1774.
I’m English. I love Scotland and I’m having this played at my funeral. Wonderful memories of that country and it’s islands! It should be your National Anthem.
@@TexasChilliMassacre What’s wrong with this being a German composition? We were once part of Europe and still have great ties to that country - this is not the 1930/40s.
@@kerryward3644 well,for many englishnen it still is.That's why they still come around the corner with their nazi lies. But you dont seem to be that way.That's good.I apreciate and respect that. And im proud of your folks coz you made the brexit.Something that germany should do too.
Kerry I too am English. Yes the Scots should definitely have this as their National Anthem. Got to be better than that durge we have for the United Kingdom.
@@TexasChilliMassacre God Save The King was also composed by a German. As an Englishman I can't stand the tune. Nothing to do with it being composed by a German though.
I am a proud Scot. I am also delighted that this beautiful tune was composed by Ulrich and Michael. Music transcends borders. A beacon, perhaps, in these troubled times!!!
Highland Cathedral is played at First Presbyterian Church, Tupelo, MS, for the Kirkin' o' Tartan celebration on Reformation Sunday. Bagpipe leads with organ joining as members in family tartans process with flags of our heritage. It is truly a special tribute to our heritage.
This amazing video only has 5 comments? Wow, I've never heard anything in my life so happy and sad at the same time. This video is amazing, wish I was there!
As an American I often wonder when I hear the pipes being played, if the people of Scotland realize realize that the pipes are played all over the world. This is a United States Air Force band playing a song that has deep meaning to the Scots. Attend a funeral in the US for a fallen police officer, fire fighter, etc., and you’ll hear a pipe and drum corp. I hope it makes our Scottish brothers and sisters proud.
As a piper myself I've performed this piece many times solo and with Pipe Organ and with Brass Ensemble and this version is lovely! The pipes are nicely in tune, which of course is essential. And thank you for playing the timing in the 2nd part correctly! So many pipers do odd pointing of the rhythm there. I wish they would have tuned their Bass Drum however.
I first learned of this wonderful music just a few years ago when asked to play it during a Wedding. I love it all the more in this fabulous setting within the walls of the Tabernacle in Salt Lake with Organ and Choir making their entrances right on cue. BEAUTIFUL!! And, thank you, ALL!! (Don't fail to miss Sgt-Mike Smith's important statement below which starts with the words "This is so memorable . . . "
Hi Tom, listen to Flower of Scotland being sung at Murrafied Rugby Stadium, Edinburgh. This is a folk song written by a Scottish legend, which speaks volumes and is the adopted National Anthem for Scotland. Have a listen to it and tell me what you think?
This NOT aTraditional Scottish air, it was written by two Germans, Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb in 1982 and will never leave a drt eye. Thanks Guys, the pipes are International
Traditional? Give it another six decades! And give a listen to the Scotland's Three Tenors vocal performance with the Scotland Fiddle Orchestra. Right here on UA-cam.
As an Ex Royal Scots Dragoon Guard ( Whos Regiment had the hit with this and Amazing Grace)..That the Bagpipe is the ONLY musical instrument,..Not Drums,,Not Bugles..Not Flutes or Fyfes The Bagpipe is the Only one classed as a weapon of War.....According to British history and is Still in effect Today.
Highland Cathedral being performed by the soldiers and the MOTAB.. I am so delightful to this presentation. It is a testament of a British origin of the American people.. A great nation founded by the British but cultivated on its destiny for the cause of human freedom, liberty and democracy...GOD bless the USA and GOD save the King........
This needs to be sung with the lyrics. They are so patriotic regardless and to me transcends Scottish patriotism but encompasses all patriotism as opposed to one world government push that wants to get rid of patriotism and sovereignty of individual nations.
What ever the Americans do they do well.But on our part let us sow the seeds of love and tolerance very deep so that there is.no more pain inflicted by man upon man.Americans do everything intellegengly.
"Traditional, arr. Chad Staffey"? The term "traditional" implies that the composer is anonymous, This piece, composed by two Germans in 1982, is therefore hardly "traditional".
This is so memorable...I was the leader of the pipe band from 1964-67....so sad that obama can play golf and take his family but this group has been disbanded so he can enjoy
Sgtmike Smith makes a statement likely based on his experience with this band. Hrh Jrd doubts Mr Smith based on nothing other than political bias. I think I know which one is more credible here. Sad that Hrh appears to base everything on emotional bias instead of information.
This is one of the best bagpipe music and I an from cape Breton. Well done. Makes me think of home
Thanks karen brian

Soldiers in the world:

This is fabulous ❤️❤️❤️
So magnificent, believe its lovingly ordained by God to raise a Nation for His glory.

I’m an Aussie, I love this piece of music especially with the Choir at Temple Square and the Air Force pipes and drums aswell
I've heard many renditions of this piece. The pipes are always amazing. the drums are amazing.
This amazing video only has 5 comments? Wow, I've never heard anything in my life so happy and sad at the same time. This video is amazing, wish I was there!
Wonderful composition, very soothing, very comforting.
If only there was a "love" button....
Their finest hour
Beautiful and very moving!!
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Love it.
Brilliant rendition....
This really sounds majestic with so many fine voices....
Americans at their best Highland Cathedral.They know the beat of the music and how to play serious tunes.What ever they do they do well.Thanks.
Bollocks.......there is no OOOMPHF....there worst rendition of this tune.....BORING......RSDG
I agree, the drum lacks conviction and the pipes have no command.
You are agreeing with yourself, FYI
i just love that big drum... never heard it sung before.
it's a magical tune...
Love this tune nothing sounds like the bagpipes
Navy guy here. Well done!!!! I just started back playing after 10 years.
Brilliant! A privilege to listen to!

Bagpipes + organ + concert band + SLTC = a perfect performance of this classic!
Majestic during this contagious Covid-19 period. 12-25-2020
Great performance, great emotion well done from a Scot.Hope you enjoyed a dram afterward.
It's sad that USAF Reserve pipe band got disbanded, my piping instructor was a member of the USAF Reserve pipe band.
Lovely warm your heart x
i think of my father and his twin brother who fought in world war two. and i think of my son who serves this country or ours now.
written by two Germans that loved Single Malt Scotch. Should be the Anthem of Scotland.
I'll drink to that.

Best tune done by military bands. First heard it on video of British massed bands in Bedford, it was played at end of the tattoo a sort of finale
I was there the day they did this!!’

I'm sure you have all the words that others should hear. Congratulations!!
This must be how this song sounds in Heaven.
Brilliant!
Awesome thankyou
I am an English born man, but love this so much, please my Scottish friends, adopt this as your national anthem
