Going Home - Bagpipe Tune Tutorial

A practice chanter tutorial by Thom Moore for the Great Highland Bagpipe tune "Going Home," a lovely slow air in 6/8 time. The sheet music setting used is for the CCESPD / Camden County (New Jersey) Emerald Society Pipes and Drums as of March 2015.

My dearest wife of 52 years passed on 8 yrs. ago. I hired a Bagpiper to play this tune Going Home during the funeral and as the family gathered around her Memorial to lay her ashes to rest. Thank you for the video.

I learned it as Dvorak’s version. We used to sing “long short long, long short long, long short long, short long.”

Is circular breathing easy on bagpipes? Is there a good resistance?

[@WootTootZoot]

Circular breathing is not necessary on bagpipes, that's why there is a bag. Some people do it with the practice chanter, but it's not necessary for students to learn.

This is more commonly used at funerals of the fire department and police department
