Lonô LovÀT,s La'cpeNT Traditional Scotti Arr. G. Weis This is a Highland bagpipetune which I have worked out for rhe guitar in rwo variations. The first part-represents a pipe solo in the style of "Bonnie Dundee."-When the tune repeats,the thumb shifts to a conventional alternating pattern in order to convey the effect of the entrance of the drum and pipe corps as the full band takes up the melody. I usually play this part fasterthan the firsr. Lord Lovat was the Duke of Atholl and fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite uprising-of1745 '1746' After the rebellion was put down, he becamethe fifth rË. l"rt person to be beheadedas a rrairor on Tower Hill in Lonâon.

Nesr Traditional Irish Arr. G. Weiser

This one must be quite old, as it can be found in The BuntingCollection(1792), and also occurs in numerousvariations,which is usuallya sign of a tune's antiquity. The versionhere is based on a setting I heardplayedby flatpicking grearNorman Blake.
