Dr. Simon McKerrell: Some notes on the bagpipes (Part 3)
⚡ The Short Version
Bagpipe repertoire divides into cèol beag (small music: marches, strathspeys, reels, hornpipes, jigs) and cèol mór (Piobaireachd or Pibroch). The 19th century standardized notation for these forms through publication and competition, creating consistent approaches to performance.
Modern competitions follow established formats that showcase different musical forms. Understanding the repertoire structure helps you grasp the breadth of bagpipe music.
