A traditional tune for the Great Highland Bagpipe. It falls in the "classical" genre of bagpipe music, which is known as Piobaireachd (pronounced "pibroch"). This is a well known tune in the piobaireachd repertoire, and may be found in the Piobaireachd Society books (Book 10, p.286). The present setting is functionally identical to the Piobaireachd Society setting. It appears in several published and manuscript sources, including C.S. Thomason's 1900 collection Ceol Mor (Book 14, p.18), under the title "The MacGregors' Gathering. For a listing and discussion of other settings of the tune, please see Dr. William Donaldson's analysis on www.pipesdrums.com. -- JNS 3/6/12
