Scottish Moods

Amazon.com
Bagpipe music, even when framed within reflective contemporary settings, is most agreeably digested in small increments. This explains why the 17 mostly traditional selections on Scottish Moods clock in at no longer than three minutes and 41 seconds. Unlike other installments in Virgin Records' Moods series, this is not a multi-artist compilation but rather the work of a single performer, unheralded piper David Methven, and a little-known backing group, the Munros. Taken in the prescribed small doses, Methven and company create many pleasant sonic miniatures that evoke mist-heavy, grandfatherly images of things virtuous and noble. Methven's approach is dignified and thoughtful, inclined more toward plaintive melodies than interminable drones. The contemplative backdrops (dreamy synths, acoustic guitar, gentle, wordless choral passages) that underpin his piping nicely embellish the album's overall sense of serenity and longing. A good recording overall, it plays best in a multidisc CD player set on "shuffle" when coupled with other Celtic-influenced recordings. --Terry Wood

A Celtic Fan!.......2003-06-15

I LOVE CELTIC MUSIC!!!!! IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC.
This cd is awesome and is perfect to add to your celtic cd collection.

beautiful bagpipe music!.......2001-10-22

If you love the bagpipe, you'll love this CD. The Highland Bagpipe is not exactly known for being the most relaxing and soothing instrument in the world, however, with the combination of guitar, voice, and other instruments, the music is indeed relaxing and beautiful. Try "Highland Cathedral" or Abide with Me".

scottish moods.......2001-03-09

The world is divided (not equally) into two groups of people: Those who HATE bagpipe music, and those who APPRECIATE and LOVE it! If you are in the group who loves the music of the "pipes", you will enjoy this selection. This "unique" music belongs at funerals,weddings,anniversaries, wars and anything Scottish. However, after listening to the "pipes", you may want to go to war~~~even if there isn't one going on! (That's the only drawback!)How can anyone not be inspired by the glorious and sometimes melancholy music of the "pipes" and, like Sean Connery yearn for Scottish Independence?

A truely moving C.D.!.......2000-07-14

Having been born and bred in Scotland it has become second nature to recognise the quality and acurate tone achieved in David Methven's pipe playing. I found the CD very enjoyable to listen to and the tunes were very moving. Since the CD is titled, "The Lone Piper" in Scotland, I found the mood and atmosphere that was created reflects remarkably with David. (A personal friend of mine.) For anybody that is involed in piping or for anybody that enjoys the music- this CD is recommended. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to listen to his fine quality playing several times a week and every performance makes me proud to be Scottish! Best of luck David, and also to the Munroes!

This is what I was looking for in bagpipe music.......2000-07-09

This is a beautiful CD. I love bagpipes for any duration of time but this one is especially beautiful. The Munros vocalization only add to the enjoyment. David Methven is a talented piper. The selections are wide ranging and are a good mix of the traditional pipe music as well as the newer "Flower of Scotland". I especially enjoyed "Highland Cathedral". I think Terry Wood says it all in his review. I was very pleased.

Customer Reviews:

Lovely music!.......2003-03-15

I disagree with the two other reviewers regarding this CD. I bought Season of Mists shortly after the release date and still find it calms my soul. My favorite cut is "Glenglass" by Wolfstone. I agree that plenty of the songs border on New Age, but I hear pleasant Celtic overtones throughout. Not everyone wants to get up and do a jig everytime an Irish song plays. Irish beauty does live here.

Disappointing - it's about as Celtic as Denmark!.......2001-08-24

Aside from the reels, this collection contains very little of what I would describe as truly Celtic. It's more like New Age mood music with Celtic names.

I would agree with the other review that stated that this was my least favorite among the Celtophile collection. I was utterly disappointed with it and have listened to it all of 3 times.

Don't waste your money on this CD. Save it for a trip to Ireland.

+ 1/2 Stars...Pleasant Mood Music.......2001-08-02

This is probably my least favorite of the half dozen or so Celtophile collections from Green Linnet that I have purchased over the past several years. I suppose the "Season of Mists" title should have been more of a clue as to the music contained on this CD. While the cover says "A collection of Celtic Moods," there is only one mood here--somber. Each artists is represented by a song that is very soothing and relaxing. As such, it makes fine background music for a quiet dinner or if you're trying to create a romantic atmosphere. Frequently the music comes very close to crossing the line into new age music. [Not a crticism, just an observation.] Especially affecting songs are "Miss Gordon of Gight" by the harp duo Sileas and "Marcus Hernon's Air" by flautist Joanie Madden who also fronts the all-female Celtic group Cherish the Ladies. Total Running Time: 46:51

Excellent CD!.......1999-12-16

I borrowed this from my husband as a last minute CD to play at our Thanksgiving dinner this year for background/mood music. It was incredible! Very very nice and relaxing. I have played it many times since.

scottish moods.......2003-06-13

I bought this while in Scotland--my father questioned if I would really listen to it at home. I said YES! I love it and it brings back so many memories of riding through the Highlands. My kids don't even turn the TV on when they come home from school and hear it playing. They know this is mom's vacation music! It is very relaxing and mystical.

Back in Scotland.......2001-09-27

The music in this CD truly surrounds you with moods of Scotland. It captures the essence of Scotland and brings me back to places I have visited.

Massive!.......2000-08-10

This is an excellent cd if you like bagpipes and keyboards. Modern music but with the classic scottish sound. Highly recommendable.
