Call of the Thistle - Practice Part - Concert Band Edition
This purchase is for the Highland Bagpipe part only, supplied as a downloadable PDF.
Call of the Thistle, composed by Ian Macpherson BEM & Scott Morton is an original work for Highland Bagpipes with Concert Band or Brass Band accompaniment.
This downloadable PDF contains the Highland Bagpipe sheet music, ideal for Pipers who would like to learn and practise the piece before playing along with one of the full instrumental backing tracks.
Practice with Full Concert Band
This backing-track version of 'Call of the Thistle' is available on You Tube, allowing you to play the solo Bagpipe part alongside the full ensemble.
The backing tracks contain no bagpipe part, so once you have learnt the music, you become the solo piper and can experience the piece as it was intended to be performed.
Full scores and instrumental parts for the Concert Band and Brass Band arrangements are available separately.
You can download the digital copy of the full score and instrumental parts, at a reduced price, through the Payhip site at:
Whether you are preparing Call of the Thistle for a live performance, rehearsing with a band, or simply enjoying playing at home, the backing tracks provide an excellent way to practise the music with the complete accompaniment
