There has always been a tremendous interest in the original music of Gordon Duncan. His stunning compositions have featured in his own ground-breaking recordings and studio sessions, in his work with top Scottish traditional music bands, and in the medleys of many top-grade pipe bands, especially those of which he was a member. Gordon's tunes have "crossed over" into many other traditional instruments, such as the fiddle and accordion.
Now, Gordon's excellent compositions are available in this new collection, compiled and produced by his brother, Ian Duncan.
When Gordon Duncan was a member of the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band, he and brother Ian released this collection of tunes in 1987, and it has now been re-published after a few year out-of-print. This contains many great Gordon tunes and arrangements, many of which featured in the selections of the Vale in those years, as well as in medleys of all the top bands and soloists. New tunes have been added for this edition!
Now this classic collection is available, freshly typeset and now in A4 format, and with all the great tunes from the original!
RS MacDonald has been a friend of the Duncan family for as long as he can remember. In 2009 he also released a book of his own compositions along side "A Few Tunes - And Mair" at Piping Live.
Some of these tunes can be found on albums from both Gordon and the Vale of Atholl Pipe Band. It is definately one for the collection, and can now be bought through the Gordon Duncan Memorial Trust.
