I listen to this every time I use a library computer - almost daily. Despite the subjects of the 2 parts, this music brings me peace & makes things OK. The words of the' Lads in Their 100s' are so evocative of another age and its way of life in a rural community. AND put in a stark aspect the effect of those limited beings who have acquired power. But the music is still playing - just lovely beyond words.
Lawrie died in a military hospital in Oxford, England in 1916. He did not die at the Somme. His body was returned to Ballachulish and interned at St John's.
We danced to the battle of the Somme by Greenmathews for the first dance at our wedding. Such a beautiful and emotive tune.
Very moving, and beautiful , made me cry x
A beautiful rendition of Willie Lawrie iconic pipe tune. Brings a tear to the eye whenever I hear it. Thanks you

He was injured at the Somme
If only the keyboard player had had the sense to play what Butterworth's wrote. Mangling his music is no way of paying respect.
