BLACK BEAR, THE. Scottish; Hornpipe, March. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABA. Also set as a pipe march and is a core tune of the repertoire. Traditionally it has been the march played by Highland regiments when returning to barracks after a route march, or by a single piper when a company returned after a march of ten miles or more. It is usually the last tune played at the Edinburgh Tattoo. An old comic film called Tunes of Glory, starring Alex Guinness as a rather neurotic commanding officer used the march as its theme music.
