Pipers across the world have shown considerable interest in music transcribed and arranged for pipers who frequently play for church related occasions such as for weddings and memorials. With music published in The Church Piper series,not only have we seen that this is so, but also newly published music for all sorts of times has been welcomed. The Church Piper's move from Winnipeg out to British Columbia has interrupted in this flow of newly published pipe music, but in the meantime, a new set of music books has been worked upon, and is beginning to present itself by way of the convenience offered by Amazon-Lulu publishers.
The new series, printed with the same degree of sophistication is now emerging with several new books. These are, Soul-Stirring Hymns, transcribed from an old hymnbook by Albert Brumley, and Volumes One and Two of Prayers for Pipers. Astoundingly, many hymns are actually prayers and these two books capture the most beautiful of prayer-hymn-tunes and include the words..
Nearing completion, and to be announced when it is launched in the fall or before, in 2018, is a book of which its two authors are going to be proud, even with its lowly name, "Valued Bits and Pieces:" for The Highland Bagpipe Player.
When you are checking with Amazon-Lulu publishing company on the net, request the bagpipe music published by Dr. Keith E. MacDonald, which will immediately differentiate it from some other publications that are entirely different. They have been published by another K. MacDonald. Just be sure you find the correct advertisement
George Delanghe is working along with Dr. Keith MacDonald, using his expert ability in music engraving along with the most up-to-date computer program to publish these books and the ones to come. There will be more. Together, he and I are proud of our work and we want you to enjoy the very best of which we are capable.
All the best!
Keith E. MacDonald, OD
