The Barley Skimmers

from Hilary de Vries

Sheet Music

An inspiring collection of over forty original bagpipe tunes by Scottish composer Hilary de Vries. Covering a wide range of rhythms and time signatures, they reflect many of the different highland and island landscapes of Scotland, reflecting their seasons, birdsong and the people who live there.

The book comes with a study CD, played by Allan MacDonald.
