Description
“The Piper O’ Dundee” is an energetic and virtuosic Tenor Horn solo composed by Kenneth Downie. Originally written for the celebrated soloist Sheona White of the Yorkshire Building Society Band, this piece is designed to push the boundaries of the instrument. Kenneth Downie blends traditional Scottish folk influences with modern technical demands, resulting in a work that is both charming and dazzlingly difficult. The solo part requires nimble fingers, precise articulation, and a bright, singing tone. This is a premiere choice for Tenor Horn soloists looking to showcase their technical prowess and musical character in a high-energy, professional concert setting.
