It doesn't fit the pipes, can I ask why do you want it? If it's for a specific function or event in Canada, I can suggest an appropriate alternative. andy341...

To the six pipers who sent me .bww formal files of "O Canada" thank you! To
the pipers who don't believe that O Canada can be properly played on the
pipes.......
"It doesn't fit the pipes," ... i wondered about that too, while i'm not a piper by any means i've listened to a lot of pipe music and i know the tune to "oh...
For a tune that "... doesn't fit the pipes" and "... didn't work", O Canada as scored in the .bww file posted today in the Bagpipes2 Group site doesn't play...
I understand that there is a tradition among pipe bands to shout at a certain point in the pipe tune "Black Bear." But there is no shout in the only recording...
I think it's at the beginning of the 8th measure (assuming it is in 2/4 - don't have the music in front of me). I'd have to ask my drummers - the pipers are...
To the pipers who don't believe that O Canada can be properly played on the pipes.... you're wrong dudes! lol It doesn't fit! Just because you can fudge your...
YES! there is a tradition of shouting. From the start of the tune as written in 2/4 time, beats number 7 and 23. The first beat of the 4th bar, (the part is...
Thanks! That's what we get for living in bagpipe-poor Louisiana -- we miss out on all the good stuff. We'll correct our "mistake" right away (and the drummers ...

Since posting a request yesterday for a copy of O Canada I have seen a number of replies stating that the tune can't or shouldn't be played on the pipes. I...
I agree with Liam. Should we ban people from singing the US Anthem just because they have no singing voice? I think not. It's the emotion you put into it...
I think this is something that pipers come up against all of the time -- should they play a broken tune if requested, or should they refuse on the basis of...
I'm sorry, Liam, but I wouldn't play either one. I'm a pianist, and I wouldn't play Bohemian Rhapsody or Foxy Lady on the piano either. Some pieces just...
Hmmm if an NHL team were to request it...and providing they know what it will sound like... I don't see an issue...but thats only my opinion. Obviously it is...
Hi Geoff :-) OK, I'm going to jump in again, knowing Geoff is also a professional musician. I consider two things that I have been taught since childhood....
... ******************* YES INDEED!!! That is, if they're going to be performing it. And we pipers are basically performers. Play anything you want in the back...
... **************** The shout is a growly sort of "oooohhhh" during the fourth full measure. (I think that's right - either that or the third; I can't find a...

Oh do you now, Geoff. <vbg> And if you were asked to play Moonlight Sonata on your keyboard, would you use the auto rhythms? <cough> Carol ... From:...
Ok Pipers, the Big Debate regarding O Canada has now been decided. After reading over all the group emails today and sixteen emails that were sent directly to...
If it sounds REALLY BAD, which O Canada does on the pipes, it reinforces many peoples' opinions that the pipes are not a legitimate music..... I feel you'd be...
But that's the point, it's not close. It's at least an octave off. When the tune requires high notes, pipes have to resort to low notes and vice-versa. And...
Danny Boy and Auld Lang Syne sound great compared to our (and most) national anthems. I consider them to be legitimate 'tinker' piping. To fudge your way...
