Decent arrangement; wish composers were credited

The performer would have more context, and perhaps a clue to research other arrangments, if this publication noted that Highland Cathedral is not a "traditional piping tune" but a 1982 composition by Michael Korb and Uli Roever. The score in this (MorningStar) book agrees with the oldest organ/bagpipe sheet music...

Beautiful duets

I'm a presbyterian organist with a husband and friends who pipe. We love the rendition of Highland Cathedral. I was in my first year of playing organ and was able to work up the organ part for this song easily. The other songs are a bit more of a challenge....

Somewhat useful

The music for "Highland Cathedral" is helpful, but I think the music in the rest of the book would have limited use - for church services most of it would not be appropriate and outside of a church where will you find an organ?
