The ‘Garvie Bagpipe Concerto‘ is a new piece of music in three movements by
composer Simon Thoumire written to demonstrate the range and beauty of the
Garvie Scottish Smallpipes with their newly developed fully chromatic
chanter.
The soloist of the piece, will be Dr Simon McKerrell, and the ensemble will
consist of piano and two fiddles. The music will be contemporary and explore
the different facets of our traditional music. This is a virtuoso piece that
demands great technical skill and talent from the soloist.
Bellows-blown Border Pipes have been played in Scotland since the 17th
Century but, with this commissioned piece, Garvie Bagpipes are reflecting
movements in modern interpretation of traditional music and extending the
knowledge influence and repertoire of Borders Pipes.
