Too Long In This Condition – Piobaireachd by Jim McGillivray | Ceòl Mòr Series

“Too Long In This Condition” is the opening tune in Echoes of Ceòl Mòr - Vol. 3 - a curated series of full-length Piobaireachd recordings by Clasp-winning solo piper Jim McGillivray. “Too Long in this Condition”, also known in some early sources as MacFarlane’s Gathering, is a classic piobaireachd found in the Nether Lorn Canntaireachd and later collections by Donald MacDonald, Angus MacKay, and others. Its ground and variations—siubhal and crunluath—are marked by distinctive leaps and expressive phrasing. Tradition holds that the tune may have been composed by a MacCrimmon piper, either after Sheriffmuir (1715) or while wandering destitute before being welcomed at a wedding. The Gaelic song line laments being “too long in this condition, without food or drink,” and the music conveys that sense of endurance and hardship through its unfolding theme and elaborations. Performed on the Blair Digital Chanter, this expressive rendition brings out the musical depth and traditional phrasing of one of Scotland’s most cherished Piobaireachds. Jim’s decades of Piobaireachd performance and adjudication experience offer a rare chance to hear Ceòl Mòr played with flow, subtlety, and authority. This is not a lesson or slowed-down tutorial—just pure, uninterrupted classical bagpipe music as it should be heard. This is a complete Piobaireachd performance, not a tutorial or practice track. It is intended for pipers, enthusiasts, and anyone seeking authentic, high-level renderings of traditional Highland music. 📚 Want to Improve Your Piobaireachd Fingerwork?
