Practice Chanter

One can find this tune under the name I See Mull in the Scots Guards (vol.2 - page 108), as a Retreat Air.


I heard it from Fred Morrison who's used to play it in a free way at a low tempo first, then as a march.


The fermatas can be more or less long as for the G strikes.
You can also play some closed (heavy) D throws instead of the open D Throws.

Practice chanter :

- The main technical difficulty here lies in the quality of execution of the D Throws : play very clearly, with a firm low G, a fairly light C; the first note of the embellishment (low G) will be placed on the beat or very slightly in front of it.
As a variant and once the open D Throw is well acquired, one can consider replacing it with a closed D Throw, as you wish.
