Focusing on the rich tradition of Gaelic music, this groundbreaking book explores various aspects, including lesser-known types of Gaelic song and the intricate art of bagpipe music, particularly pibroch, known as Ceol Mor or 'Great Music.' As the first comprehensive work on the subject in over a century, it offers a deep dive into the cultural significance and diverse forms of this musical heritage.

Originally published in 1975, and written by an authority on Scottish music, this book traces the evolution of the bagpipe whilst also narrating the fortunes of the 'Great Highland Bagpipe' itself.
