The Circular Breath

Issued in 1997 by the great Gordon Duncan.
The album includes 7 of Gordon’s compositions for the Highland pipes and a classic rewriting of The Contradiction Reel.
The sleeve notes contain actual notes ..in the shape of 7 fully scored tunes:
The High Drive
Pressed for Time?
The Contradiction (arr. G Duncan )
Ash City
Tain in the Rain
The Famous Baravan
Blow my Chanter
…staffed out with pipering grace notes and all.

I’ll post the arrangement of the contradiction and the Galician muñeira shortly…

…a shouldav said, "7 compositions including his arrangement of The Contradiction Reel."
In actual terms, very much a Gordon Duncan tune for he gave that reel a total face lift, without any loss of character or energy.
