The Piper's Choice Music Collection

The Pipers Choice series of DVDs was started in 2008, with the purpose of giving lowers of uilleann piping the opportunity to get as close as possible to modern piping practice. The series is a unique and innovative document, revealing the considerations that great pipers take into account when approaching their art. Fidelity to tradition is tempered with musical imagination to produce a dynamic form of music. This is music that is always modern, and can surprise the listener, because it is renewed in the hands of master-players. It is also solidly grounded because the connection with accumulated tradition is never broken. It can be described as timeless, but is completely relevant to our time.

The collection has been put together by pipers, the pipers who played music, Joe Doyle who notated it, Tim Doyle who made the formal setting in Sibelius, and Terry Moylan who designed and edited the book.

This collection is dedicated to the memory of Liam O'Flynn (1945-2018).
