Highland Cathedral - Bagpipes and Big band
A powerful and atmospheric arrangement of the much-loved Scottish anthem Highland Cathedral, scored for solo bagpipes and big band. This setting blends the noble, ceremonial character of the original melody with supportive big band textures, creating a dramatic and memorable crossover suitable for both formal and celebratory occasions.
The bagpipe solo part is written in concert pitch. The arrangement works equally well for weddings, commemorations, ceremonies, and special concert features, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional or pipe-only versions.
Instrumentation:
Solo Bagpipes (concert pitch)
5 Saxes (woodwind doubles required – Altos and 1st Tenor double Flute, 2nd Tenor doubles Clarinet)
4 Trumpets
4 Trombones
Piano
Keyboard (optional)
Guitar
Bass
Drums
Performance notes:
• Solo bagpipes clearly featured throughout
• Big band writing supports the ceremonial character of the tune
• Flexible rhythm section with optional keyboard
• Alto and Tenor Saxes require woodwind doubles
• Suitable for formal events, memorials, weddings, and concert programs
A unique fusion of Scottish tradition and big band sonority that delivers both gravitas and impact.
