The MacFarlane’s Gathering – Piobaireachd by Jim McGillivray | Ceòl Mòr Series

Описание: “The MacFarlane’s Gathering” is featured in Echoes of Ceòl Mòr – Volume 5, a series of full-length piobaireachd performances by Gold Medallist and Clasp-winning piper Jim McGillivray.

One of the most recognisable gathering tunes in the piobaireachd canon, The MacFarlane’s Gathering combines ceremonial purpose with classical restraint. The ground is assertive and declarative, unfolding with clarity and confidence before developing through variations that emphasise lift, rhythmic definition, and tonal stability. While martial in character, the tune remains firmly grounded in balance and proportion.

Performed on the Blair Digital Chanter, this is a full performance of a major piobaireachd, presented for pipers and listeners seeking serious, musically grounded interpretations of ceòl mòr.
