This sampling of some familiar tunes represents only a small portion of my repertoire. Note that in order to minimize file sizes many of these clips have been intentionally abbreviated. However, any music that you select can be performed to its full extent or be easily lengthened or otherwise taylored to fit your preferences or the timing of your ceremony.

| A note on Highland Cathedral using organ accompaniment: Since the bagpipes cannot tune to the organ, the organ must be tunable (electronic) to be able to match the pipes. Appropriate time must be set aside beforehand to make this adjustment and to rehearse it in unison (Definitely not one to be done impromptu!) Once this is all accomplished this piece is a very stirring one and well worth the extra time. |
