Is there a more divisive and infamous instrument than the bagpipes? The Scottish Great Highland pipes are renowned for their size, volume, and power, as well as their ability to make certain people run screaming from a room with fingers in their ears. But bagpipes of different shapes, sizes, and specifications have been used in traditional music around the world, for thousands of years. Tonight youβll hear a full glorious range: bagpipe jazz from Rufus Harley, Iranian folk featuring the ney-anbΔn bagpipe of Saeid Shanbehzadeh, minimalist multi-bagpipe drone by Julia Wolfe, as well as a rare recording of the Royal Army of Oman Pipe Band.
Produced by Jack Howson.
A Reduced Listening production for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3.
