Project "World music in the Cathedral"
"Legends of Ireland and Scotland"

Duration - 80 minutes.

If someone tells you that all English bagpipes are the same, do not believe this person. Either he knows nothing, or is trying to trick you. The loud Scottish bagpipe is an instrument created for war and parades. She always and everywhere accompanied the great soldiers of the Scottish army. The Irish bagpipe is softer, more aristocratic. Her voice is more tender, brooding. Ranges are also different. Against as many as two chromatic in the Irish - one octave in the Scottish. The Scottish basses are fixed fifths, while the Irish ones allow you to vary the pitch. The tools differ in the method of supplying air to the bag. If the Scottish is a typical, in fact, wind instrument, the air is blown into it through a tube, then the Irish is somewhat closer to the organ, the air supply to it is mechanical, through furs. But here it is impossible to give primacy to any of the bagpipes. Both are magnificent - each in its own way. And both are incredibly popular.

And you also have a unique opportunity to hear five harps playing traditional music of Ireland and Scotland at once!
