Do people who complain about bagpipes in "such a technologically advanced setting" not realise that we are currently perfectly capable of synthesising any instrument and playing it on speakers? And yet, in almost every military or ceremonial context, we use real instruments. It's not about the pure sound, it's about tradition and culture.
Supposedly in Dune's lore, mankind had a real problem with computer technology and artificial intelligence. Like a Terminator style war happened. So they fucking hate most computerized things lol. That's why some of their people are like human computers - because they don't trust real computers. And they like old school music, don't need any computerized sounds, mixing, speakers, etc. Just good old bagpipes

The most precious substance in the universe is Haggis Haggis expands conciousnes Haggis extends life Haggis is vital to space travel He who controls haggis controls the universe.
The greatest lie the Devil ever told was that haggis is food. In fact, modern scientific testing has demonstrated that haggis is merely the juvenile form of fruitcake, which everyone knows is merely the modern culinary equivalent of the white elephant. The great Roman Legionary, Phalusius Grossus, in his histories of the conquest of the British Isles, “Ad Lunam, Alicius, Ad Lunam”, noted “Never take culinary advice from a man in a skirt, particularly if he is painted blue, or in a Mel Gibson motion scroll, whatever that is.”
This was posibly the biggest surprise of Dune soundtrack. An excellent use of bagpipes - the pride, the strength. At the initial moment, you tend to laugh, about that instrument, but then your smile freezes, because you realize that these guys mean business and they are going to stand their ground. The coming of Atreides to Arrakis was filmed very well as an event that was meant to show the population that there is a new sheriff in town.
Then said sheriff is stabbed in the back by the old Sheriff and the Governor. Forcing the Sheriff's son to join the natives for a chance to fight back.
I really appreciated this too, and I really like how the Atredies were shown as excellent warriors, well trained, well equipped, they were not pushovers by any stretch of the imagination. It took Harkonnen and the betrayal of the emperor to take them down, and they could only do it by stabbing them in the back at night.
Fun Fact: Caladan likely got its name from Caledonia, the Latin name for Scotland. That's probably why they decided to add bagpipes to House Atreides' theme.
This is cool but these bagpipes may be based on “gaita” which are spanish bagpipes found in northern Spain. House Atreides is heavily influenced with Spain- the bullfighting culture, and how they drink lots of water so this might be it too
It also could be Greek bagpipes, as Atreides may be able to trace it's roots to Greek civilizations. However, since it's set in THOUSANDS of years in the future, it could be a mix & blend of European cultures in one house. Either way, it's beautiful!
and I believe the chorus of bagpipes is a bunch of specifically made flute like instruments. The interview with Hans Zimmer shows it. So cool what they can do
According to House history the Arteides had their origins in Greece. The bagpipes were very much a part of Greek history and culture, some accounts saying they came from Egypt or further east and making their way to Caledonia courtesy of the Romans. Others say Ireland, but regardless, it’s not surprising that a House claiming descent from Agamemnon would have bagpipes as a core part of its culture. The pipes have also have a strong military association and can be found as an enduring part of military bands in countries as varied as Pakistan, Jordan, India, America, India, Uganda, Sudan as well, of course as England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
Atreides tombs in the movie were literally lycian tombs located in turkey, atreides was definetely a mix of hellenistic, anatolian and western-european culture. On the other hand empire seem to be a mix of middle eastern, scandinavian, turkic-middle asian and mezo american cultures.
In traditional battle bagpipes were meant to terrify enemies by making a sound that resembled the screams of spirits on vengeful paths. Bagpipes can also hit a key that can trigger blood lust in those who hear it; which is why during WW2 British; Irish, Scottish, Canadian and Australian units fought harder in their presence when they played. The pipes are a powerful instrument and were rightfully feared on the battlefield. The sound they made could trigger fear; or become its master. House Atreides feels very powerful with the pipes playing. Its a very loving touch to the faction.
a demonstration of strenght and determination, when the british arrived on a new land 1st thing was to announce themselves, you can never make a second 1st impression
@@tylerv6341 I had to go back and find the movie The Longest Day again; because they actually named a piece Canadian Pipers play in combat called Black Bear; which was played during D-Day in the film. But I can't find any song examples on the web; even being specific. Black Bear is the only example I could find that was used in battle and even then I don't know if it was actually used that way or not because there is a startling lack of information on songs the celts ands Canadians played in battle.
Nothing says "Now, behold our comming" Like a armada full of warriors, and the first one send out is not a subjugator. But a uniformed herald, his cloth clean, his markings on his breast. A sharp eyed individual who with his pipes blows into the sands of time. The sound of your defiance, And the strength of your beliefs.
The Butlerian Jihad. All computers/AI turns on humanity. Mankind destroys computers/AI and mankind enters a new age where all thinking is done by humans, Mentats.

I've had to have listened to this a thousand times since I saw the movie, even rewound it to listen to it again during the movie(wife was not impressed) I love my heritage and to hear the extraordinary pipes and drums makes me feel at home. Does anyone else feel the same? Just powerful!
....except that these are not bagpipes, but played on guitar by the utterly brilliant Guthrie Govan....who is English : ) Ok...his father is Scottish, but he was born and brought up in Essex.
Don’t know why I had to turn to an unofficial channel to appreciate this masterpiece, but I’m thankful that it’s here. Thanks for posting it. The only part of the song im interested in is the bagpipes, guys. I dont care for 5 minutes of not bagpipes on a song I love because of the bagpipes. This video has what I want, the official tracks do not.
I may be in a minority here, but i loved the bagpipes BECAUSE they feel "out of place". It's not something you would find in modern futuristic sci-fi, but definitively the kind of thing that someone from the past would think that survives us, same with the bull-fighting. It's such a retrofuturistic detail, and a good reminder that Dune is, at its core, a book from the 60s.
Honestly I do wish they went a bit further with that. All the costumes for instance (though undeniably beautiful) have a disctinct flavour of 21st century i-phone chic that (in my view) probably won't age well.
As others have probably already mentioned, it wasn’t bagpipes. Guthrie Govan played it all on guitar using the fractal audio FM9 with the synth effect. That guy is a guitar wizard! One of the best.
Part of why the bagpipes are used for the atreides are the instrument's roots. Known today for their ubiquitous presence among scottish and more widely celtic peoples, the bagpipes originated in egypt and the levant thousands of years ago. This is relevant as it relays a historical precedent as well as a thematic emblem. The atreides home world, Caladan, is filled with harsh landscapes and much water, a la Scotland, and of course arrakis is a stand in for the arabian penninsula. It is in part a symbol for a return to form, an acceptance of roots, and a recognition of identity.
Ahh the pipes when the good guys arrive! The Scottish pipes are still popular today at ceilidhs, Celtic Connections, New Year, special occasions and more. First French record of the Scots pipes being used in battle was in 1547, at the Battle of Pinkie. Wonderful score by Hans Zimmer.
Well, if House Atreides cought by suprise. ambushed, and betrayed still managed to absolutely tear into their enemies picture what they could have done on a battlefield closer to even...
The thing I love the most about Frank Herbert's genious is he made a setting where true advancement is based on the human mind and not technology. Traditional values, the stability of the Imperium and the respect of the family are all important symbols and ideas that are very much pre-modern and yet eternal. I prefer this kind of vision to all other transhuman distopia. I love how he brought back the spirit of the middle ages in a technologically advanced world, where hand to hand combat and heroic qualities outweigh brute strength and laser weapons. The Bagpipe symbolises everything that I love about House Atreides: loyalty, bravery, respect of the ancients and the appreciation of art.
To my ears the bagpipes start pretty stereotypically "Scottish" but then halfway in sound like the Ottoman Empire's imperial pipes. Strong Greek - Turkish - Middle Eastern vibes.
"ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES!" Please sir, sit down and stop shouting in the movie theater, you're disturbing the other patrons. Wait, what am I saying??! ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES!
Don't forget Zen Buddhism since Frank Herbert was influenced by Zen philosophy, and Dune is just Zen Buddhism disguised as Space Islam, Ottoman feudalism.
I still remember seeing this for the first time in IMAX. When the bagpiper started playing I thought “really? Bagpipes?” Then the rest kicked in and I thought “Fuck yeah! Bagpipes!”. I was absolutely floored. 💀
Actually quite appropriate. The Atreides are a family of honor and war and bagpipes not only represented the honor of arms, but they are the only musical instrument recognized as a weapon of war.
there are literally no computers in the setting and the space travel is only permitted by tripping balls and BAGPIPES is where people draw the line? Cmon man
I’m certain that my Celtic ancestors heard this tribute to courage before they charged at the battle of Culloden and before Maryes Heights at Fredericksburg…
In Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein (written around the same time) it is on a route march with the band playing the pipes (although with some clever widget not the real thing) that Rico realises he “feels good” and knows the training will not break him.
Anyone who knows anything about our Scottish cousins across the border know that the Scots are not to be trifled with. There's many a soldier on the battle field who regrets the day he heard the pipes playing and met the fierce warriors following them. If the Atreides have the same reputation in battle they must be very fearsome indeed.
Not to mention there’s this funny occurrence in European history that many of the times there are mercenaries in a conflict you will find at least one Scotsman far from home in the middle of it. The Scottish just love a good scrap.
this obviously isn't bagpipes playing, I play them myself and I know they can't do that. But I love how the composer made it in the style of traditional bagpipe music.
I love the constant drone of the bagpipes line behind the melody. Usually such constant noises like that are uncomfortable and annoying to listen to but in this context it evokes power and determination as if nothing can stop the might of House ATREIDES
It was such a trip seeing this in the movie theater. At the first lonely bagpipe I sort of rolled my eyes because it felt so underwhelming, but as soon as the others joined in my eyes just involuntarily welled up with tears and i just started crying. It was incredible, and very surprising to have such a strong and such a physical reaction to something I was kind of scoffing at literally a second earlier.
I agree that the bagpipes signal the pride and strength of house Atreides, but on the other hand this melody resembles “amazing grace” (often played at funerals - referencing the downfall of the house Atreides) so much that it is hard to ignore. . Well played, Mr. Zimmer.
Interesting that this is arranged more like a funeral march than military music, it sounds very similar to Mist Covered Mountains, which was played in the Queen’s funeral procession
You can almost imagine this same ballad being played as the Scottish army charged at the English at Culloden, the sound of such intensity that it thundered out even the boom and crash of the Redcoat muskets and cannons.
All you folks whining about the pipes being played in this far future setting, you do realise that there was a Scottish piper playing British soldiers onto the beach at Normandy just 80 years ago. He was called Bill Millin and the only reason he survived standing there playing Black Bear was that the Germans thought he'd gone mad. I can't help but think him playing away helped alot of those British kids get off of that beach as well. I suppose you could put it under the category of psychological warfare. Inspiring for your side, demoralising for the other.
I did not read into the origins of the atredes house but for me the use of bagpipes was an association to them being the heroes - because when I hear bagpipes I think Scotland vs England and how Scotland has been the underdog for so long.
With honor and humbleness, the brave and courageous heart beats through the golden sand and throughout space and time to repent and celebrate the glorious centuries for yet to come
As I am accepted through the doors of The Great Hall... and I into the place where I shall see my father, my mother, my sisters, and my brothers... where I will fight all day in battle, and sup at night... **THIS THEME BETTER BE MY ENTRANCE MUSIC!!**
It is such an achievement to convey the feeling of heroism using major uplifting tones, especially followed by a dark deep solo. May inspiration shine upon us all as it does for Hans Zimmer.
If Scotty can play Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which is set in the 23rd century, then it is quite possible that Bagpipes will exist will beyond the 23rd century and into the era of Dune.

Paul Atreides did nothing wrong.
It does sound alien, and yet familiar simultaneously. What a beautiful way to mark out house Atreides. That music will return.
Well, if House Atreides cought by suprise. ambushed, and betrayed still managed to absolutely tear into their enemies picture what they could have done on a battlefield closer to even...
The emperor was right to be afraid...
From Mycenae to the future! Long live the honorable house of Atreus!
i love your edited version. it's amazing!
The thing I love the most about Frank Herbert's genious is he made a setting where true advancement is based on the human mind and not technology. Traditional values, the stability of the Imperium and the respect of the family are all important symbols and ideas that are very much pre-modern and yet eternal. I prefer this kind of vision to all other transhuman distopia. I love how he brought back the spirit of the middle ages in a technologically advanced world, where hand to hand combat and heroic qualities outweigh brute strength and laser weapons.
The Bagpipe symbolises everything that I love about House Atreides: loyalty, bravery, respect of the ancients and the appreciation of art.
An appreciation of humanity itself. We have nothing to compensate for. We just need to strengthen the most noble aspects within us.
To my ears the bagpipes start pretty stereotypically "Scottish" but then halfway in sound like the Ottoman Empire's imperial pipes. Strong Greek - Turkish - Middle Eastern vibes.
"ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES!"
Please sir, sit down and stop shouting in the movie theater, you're disturbing the other patrons. Wait, what am I saying??! ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES!
Best part for me! Was not expecting the pipes!
God Bless the Beloved Sound of the Bagpipes 🥃🇺🇸🇮🇪🏴 Enjoying this with a fine cigar and a fine whiskey
Three things remain from Earth: The Catholic Bible, the Spanish Torada, the Scotish Bagpipe. And that's good enough.
Don't forget Zen Buddhism since Frank Herbert was influenced by Zen philosophy, and Dune is just Zen Buddhism disguised as Space Islam, Ottoman feudalism.
I still remember seeing this for the first time in IMAX. When the bagpiper started playing I thought “really? Bagpipes?” Then the rest kicked in and I thought “Fuck yeah! Bagpipes!”. I was absolutely floored. 💀
It makes one heck of an impression when the rest of the Bagpipes kick in, not what I might have expected but love it all the more
played on guitar I'm afraid...some of them at least.
First one is a Guitar the louder sound are 30 bagpipes@@spanishpeaches2930
Actually quite appropriate. The Atreides are a family of honor and war and bagpipes not only represented the honor of arms, but they are the only musical instrument recognized as a weapon of war.
Fantastic
Just what I needed
there are literally no computers in the setting and the space travel is only permitted by tripping balls and BAGPIPES is where people draw the line? Cmon man
There is much more to it than that bud
I’m certain that my Celtic ancestors heard this tribute to courage before they charged at the battle of Culloden and before Maryes Heights at Fredericksburg…
Two things I now know about House Atreidies. They're actually Scottish and they're very patient people.
In Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein (written around the same time) it is on a route march with the band playing the pipes (although with some clever widget not the real thing) that Rico realises he “feels good” and knows the training will not break him.
The pipers they used are from Edinburgh btw 🏴 ❤️
Anyone who knows anything about our Scottish cousins across the border know that the Scots are not to be trifled with. There's many a soldier on the battle field who regrets the day he heard the pipes playing and met the fierce warriors following them. If the Atreides have the same reputation in battle they must be very fearsome indeed.
Not to mention there’s this funny occurrence in European history that many of the times there are mercenaries in a conflict you will find at least one Scotsman far from home in the middle of it. The Scottish just love a good scrap.
Oh man, goosebumps.
even now?
this obviously isn't bagpipes playing, I play them myself and I know they can't do that. But I love how the composer made it in the style of traditional bagpipe music.
Guthrie Govan, a fantastic guitarist was playing some of the bagpipes on his guitar. Mad.
Needed this
I love the constant drone of the bagpipes line behind the melody. Usually such constant noises like that are uncomfortable and annoying to listen to but in this context it evokes power and determination as if nothing can stop the might of House ATREIDES
It was such a trip seeing this in the movie theater. At the first lonely bagpipe I sort of rolled my eyes because it felt so underwhelming, but as soon as the others joined in my eyes just involuntarily welled up with tears and i just started crying. It was incredible, and very surprising to have such a strong and such a physical reaction to something I was kind of scoffing at literally a second earlier.
NO CALL WE WONT ANSER!
NO FAITH WE WILL BETRAY
ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES! ATREIDES!
@@paulcourtemanche3549 HOUSE ATREIDES ACCEPTS!
And from this we somehow end up with an immortal human-worm hybrid ruling the universe while being worshipped as a god
I agree that the bagpipes signal the pride and strength of house Atreides, but on the other hand this melody resembles “amazing grace” (often played at funerals - referencing the downfall of the house Atreides) so much that it is hard to ignore. . Well played, Mr. Zimmer.
Interesting that this is arranged more like a funeral march than military music, it sounds very similar to Mist Covered Mountains, which was played in the Queen’s funeral procession
I love the pipes, Highland and Irish. They make me want to bash in a few Norman and Saxon skulls.

This will be played at my wedding and funeral
You can almost imagine this same ballad being played as the Scottish army charged at the English at Culloden, the sound of such intensity that it thundered out even the boom and crash of the Redcoat muskets and cannons.
When it’s time for me to go this is what to play this at my funeral Long live house Atreides
All you folks whining about the pipes being played in this far future setting, you do realise that there was a Scottish piper playing British soldiers onto the beach at Normandy just 80 years ago.
He was called Bill Millin and the only reason he survived standing there playing Black Bear was that the Germans thought he'd gone mad. I can't help but think him playing away helped alot of those British kids get off of that beach as well.
I suppose you could put it under the category of psychological warfare. Inspiring for your side, demoralising for the other.
Epic
After this movie I really really want to learn how to play bagpipes
I did not read into the origins of the atredes house but for me the use of bagpipes was an association to them being the heroes - because when I hear bagpipes I think Scotland vs England and how Scotland has been the underdog for so long.
With this house will go to the bitter or sweet end,atreides forever
this is not a celebratory theme
this is a funeral dirge
With honor and humbleness, the brave and courageous heart beats through the golden sand and throughout space and time to repent and celebrate the glorious centuries for yet to come
Only through Union with one another as equals, in and out of the home. Can we reach our greatest potential, as a species. As well as, a planet.
Gotta love space bagpipes
If you ever need a morale boost this is the song for you. Nothing better than feeling the strength and honor of House Atreides.
Best alarm to wake up to in the morning.
As I am accepted through the doors of The Great Hall... and I into the place where I shall see my father, my mother, my sisters, and my brothers... where I will fight all day in battle, and sup at night...
**THIS THEME BETTER BE MY ENTRANCE MUSIC!!**
It would be awesome if they combined the bagpipes with some Mongolian throat singing
The Heavenly sounds of the Bagpipes. Both a meditation and a call to arms
If anyone, it will be us. Us men and women from earth who dared to cross away together toward the stars.
Thank you for this extended version! :D
one word
Atreides!!!!!!!!
"With Me!"
It is such an achievement to convey the feeling of heroism using major uplifting tones, especially followed by a dark deep solo. May inspiration shine upon us all as it does for Hans Zimmer.
If Scotty can play Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, which is set in the 23rd century, then it is quite possible that Bagpipes will exist will beyond the 23rd century and into the era of Dune.
removing the soundtrack from the visual & dramatic context diminishes the power of the moment
