Lord Lovat's Lament [Vintage]

Marc Dubois

Classics

In this session we look at one of the great wee marches/slow airs ever written. Made famous by the must have pipe band recording of all time - 78th Frasers Live in Ireland - 1987. This versatile tune doubles as an excellent slow air and march that any level pipe band or soloist can couple as a set. Enjoy!

Marc Dubois

Technique & Theory

In this session we talk about technique and it's very building blocks - syllables. Each technical piece has a syllable pattern that needs to match each other. Finally we talk about fusion of the short note into technical phrases. At the same time stressing both placement and clarity of the movement.
