My absolutely favorite tune... beautifully played. I have played this tune at funerals as it such a soulful tune, although I play it slightly slower. I have posted a video of me playing it with my guitar playing cousin and me playing the scottish smallpipes in the key of D which seemed to work well. The tune I like to play together with the sleeping tune is another Gordon Duncan tune ... Lorient mornings which would also work well with the whistle.
I'm an old Scotswoman retired and living in Sweden. And I'm sitting listening with tears streaming down my face and the sharpness of homesickness in my soul. I remember this so well from back Home. I so miss the land of my birth that I know I'll never see again. Music can play with our hearts so easily.
I really enjoyed this tune. When I first heard it, I was worried that it would have half holes since it sounds very minor. Luckily it is very easy to play. It’s nearly thanksgiving here and I am so thankful for your teaching. Always elegant always patient… thank you for sharing your gift of music 🎉❤
@@CutiepieTinWhistle Thanks for the tip... Try to play this tune to the music of the Red Hot Chili Pipers... It is more rock style. I use this song to play along (Bb whistle needed): ua-cam.com/video/FKraheDo474/v-deo.html
Sounds really awesome on tin whistle - maybe I’ll try it on my new Bb whistle! However, it’s hard to believe that you can play something on bagpipes that has the effect of a sleeping tune. It would be too loud. 😉
You would be surprised how well it works. My all time favorite version is by Duncan Chisholm and Susana Sievane. Duncan plays the violin and Susana plays the Spanish Gaita pipes, you should check it out.
@@MAMDAVEM Thanks for the tip! I just watched the video you recommended and it sounds great! I still think that it would be too loud for sleeping if someone played the bagpipes right beside your bed. But don’t take it too seriously because it should actually be a joke. 😊
@@ZengHuaXiansheng The name of the tune has nothing to do with being a lullaby. It is called the seeping tune (according to legend) because upon waking up totally hung over from a bender the night before he had this tune running through his head he didn't recognise it and so concluded he must have composed it in his sleep, hence "the sleeping tune" I am simply relating what I have read elsewhere and have no way of knowing how true it is. Gordon Duncan was a larger than life character and one of the finest pipers in the world who left us all too soon R.I.P.
Thank you so much for The Sleeping Tune. My partner is a bagpiper and I’ve been so sad that I haven’t been able to play this tune which is my absolute favourite. And now I can! Well nearly 😊. He is learning another bagpipe tune - Moonstar - which is just as beautiful,although in a different way. I’ve put a link here to a band playing it and have the bagpipe music I can send if you’re interested. Thank you @CutiepieTinWhistle ua-cam.com/video/kleBvhuxtbg/v-deo.html
Sounds amazing when you play it. All disjointed and goofy when I do! I am plowing ahead on this one, though! I love this song (though I have never heard it before), and I WILL learn to play it. Thanks!
I love this version! It is my favourite bagpipe tune. The notes are similar so should be easy to learn. Thanks for putting up the video and notes to follow/learn

Listening to your Incredibly beautiful cover of this magical music is a pleasure.
Thank you CutiePie
👍👏🌹🌹🌹💕.
Could you check out the flute part of "Nordman - Be mig" and maybe do a tutorial? It's a Swedish classic
Beautiful. I'm sure Gordon would be pleased to hear this.
Thank you💌
Aaahh, I have heard this tune before but didn't know the title or artist - I'm so excited to learn it! Thanks for another great tutorial!

Okay, that I have to learn.
Very nice tune. I love it that you play it on a D whistle as well because I can't afford whistles in all the keys.
What a beautiful tune played exquisitely. Thank you
Particularly beautiful, I learned it recently..
Hi where did you get the guitar backing track? Awesome cover... As always ;)
I made it using a little app called Chordbot 😊
@@CutiepieTinWhistle Thanks for the tip...

I use this song to play along (Bb whistle needed):

Great can you do the theme from poltergeist the movie?
I'll add it to my request list 😀
@@CutiepieTinWhistle thx
This was a masterpiece so emotional and well played

@@gcujimmy That’s interesting, thanks for explaining! 😊
@@ZengHuaXiansheng you are welcome.

Would this work with Scottish smallpipes in the key of A or D ?
Wow so pretty!! Definitely going to try this one out.
I love this tune on the bagpipes, I love it almost as much on tin whistle.
Absolutely stunning, beautiful melody and beautiful playing
Very good performance, I like the sound of the whistle
hauntingly beautiful!!! Thank you 🙏
You are a beautiful mind and soul🌹 thanks for sharing this melody
I absolutely love it! Do you think I can play it following the same fingering on a low F whistle or it will need some adjustments?
You just certainly can! Here's how:

How beautiful you play this tune, I played bagpipes many years ago and would have loved to have played this but was not composed then🥰

Wow! Beautiful, but my fingers cramp up just from watching you!😊
Has to be the most beautiful looking whistle player in the world. So relaxing too. Thank you.
Absolutely love it. I wish I could play my Wild Bb so I could play along
I love this version! It is my favourite bagpipe tune. The notes are similar so should be easy to learn.
Thanks for putting up the video and notes to follow/learn
I appreciate the awesome work you put into this, I always learn so much from your videos.
The Sleeping Tune. Written for bagpipes, ironic, no?
Have you had any requests for a tutorial on Harriman the Fiddler? Add my vote to that!

I’m wondering if you’d ever consider selling the backing tracks?? I’d pay for it in a quick minute…
The backing tracks I create are available on my Patreon and ko-fi pages for $5 monthly supporters 😊 x
