- Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

uplifting, majestic...poignant
All,
I am playing a funeral mass on Monday. The family of the deceased would like two to three tunes that are uplifting, majestic and poignant.
Any ideas?

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country

The Wild Geese, The Minstral Boy(played at a stately tempo), O'Carolan's Lament for Limerick, Gabriel's Oboe(classical from the soundtrack of The Mission. It works very well on pipes) Make Us True Servants(Shaker Hymn).
Hope these help.
I used to use MacCrimmon Will never return to good effect on GHP, until the dirtwad band Korn lifted it for one of their songs. Nothing like a teenager headbanging at the graveside. :roll:

Yeah, that's the ancient way of spelling it.

Dots for Táimse im' Chodladh/I Am Asleep (And Do Not Waken Me) are in John Walsh's "Collection of Pipe-Friendly Tunes" - #486. Also in Matt Cranitch's "The Irish Fiddle Book" - #97. Also also in O'Neill's "Music of Ireland" (1850) - #599. Plus in Tomás O'Canainn's "Traditional Slow Airs of Ireland" - #49. Also plus Eddy Bunting's "Ancient Music of Ireland" - #100. Plus also plus it is probably in O'Baoill's "Ceolta Gael", but I can't seem to find my copy at the moment. As you can see its a rare tune and pretty hard to find.
If anyone knows of a good recording of a sung sean-nós version of this tune I'd be much obliged.
Thx,
djm
