Highland Cathedral

1982 saw the publication of a melody for written for bagpipes by the name of Highland Cathedral-a name that draws its inspiration from a famous neo-Gothic church in Glasgow, Scotland. Since its first appearance, Highland Cathedral has enjoyed a triumphant tour around the globe, often acknowledged as an enthusiastic tribute to the nation of Scotland. Anthony Gröger's version for string quartet combines this passionate character with unmistakeable echoes of the Scottish feel of the original work. Here then is this true classic, especially popular at wedding ceremonies, now arranged for string quartet.
