Product Description

The original tune of Sleep, Dearie, Sleep is a traditional Scottish lament for the bagpipes that compares death and long sleep. It is also used as a taps signal in Highland army regiments. The song became well-known after it was played at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on September 19, 2022. The song itself is an adaptation of the Gaelic song Caidil mo ghaol.

This arrangement for concert band features new harmonies and highlights the lyrical side of your lead players, while still maintaining the core message and feelings of the original bagpipe tune.
