Yes, the theme played by the pipes in Calgacus is one I composed specially for this orchestral work which I wrote in 1976. It was first broadcast (live) on BBC Radio 3 on October 24, 1976. Rab Wallace performed it at the London Proms in 1997 and this was released on the CD "The Very Best of the BBC Orchestras" free with the BBC Music Magazine. It is also on the Linn Records CD "Scotland's Music". -Eddie Sorry for replying so long after the event, I have only now spotted the article.

Edged you, maybe! Your tune sounded really nice - you've come a long way in the past year. As for me, I always get beaten by Maddie from our band in piobaireachd. It's a fact of life when you come to piping as an adult that you're going to get shown up by all the teenagers! Payson should be good - it's always a very pleasant games in a beautiful setting. See you there! Thanks Robert!
