Our 262 page music book is a selection of tunes assembled from a variety of different sources; many are traditional tunes,
others are favourites of individual band members, and a few are original compositions. Each of the collected tunes has been
subject to varying amounts of annotation or re-arrangement by the Pipe-Major.
Over the years, both original and edited versions of the same tune were being used by band members which caused some confusion.
As a result, our book, the "Standard Settings of Music for the Prince Albert Highlanders Pipes & Drums" was
assembled to provide the definitive version from which to learn and play.
To assemble this collection of 206 tunes, over 400 bars were visited (of music..not pubs unfortunately). Approximately
30,000 notes and more than 12,000 gracenotes and other embellishments were painstakingly transcribed to produce this compilation.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of our compilation please follow the links in the "Contact Us" section. ** Please Note that our Standard Settings of Music 2001 ** is currently out of print.
A second printing may occur in the future as well as a second volume of new tunes.
