Back to Lochiel's March (2)
LOCHIEL'S MARCH [2]. AKA - "Lochail's March." AKA and see "Black Donald the Piper," "Domnall Dub an Piobaire," "Cameron Gathering," "Pibroch of Donald Dhu (The)." Scottish, March (6/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABC: AABBCCDDEEFF (Peacock). The melody also appears in Reinagle's Selection of the Most Favorite Scots Tunes (Philadelphia, 1787, pp. 9-10), Bacon's Military Selection of Marches, Quick-Steps &c., Book 1 (Philadelphia, c. 1816, p. 18), and Northumbrian piper John Peacock's A Favorite Collection of Tunes with Variations (c. 1805, p. 15).
The Celtic Monthly (1902, Vol. X, pp. 47-48), in an article entitled "The Martial Music of the Clans", by Fionn) gives:
The March, or Spaidsearachd, of the [Cameron] Clan is "Piobaireachd Dhòmhnuill Duibh," or Lochiel's March. This tune is also said to have been played at the battle of Inverlochy, and is the march of the 79th or Cameron Highlanders. I am aware that this tune is also associated with the MacDonalds, who call it "Black Donald Balloch of the Isles' March," but there are several good tunes that are claimed by more than one clan. It is fair to the MacDonalds to state that this tune is found on paper in Oswald's Caledonian Pocket Companion, published in 1764, where it is called "Piobaireachd Mhic Dhònuil." The Piobaireacdh setting is to be found in Albyn's Anthology 1816--where the editor states he transcribed it from a MS. belonging to Captain MacLeod of Gesto. It is quite possible that this pibroch has been used as a Lament, as it possesses all the characteristics of that class of pipe music. The Gaelic words associated with the quickstep arrangement of the tune will be found with music in the Celtic Monthly, Vol. iii. p. 9. The English words are by Sir Walter Scott, and appeared first in Albyn's Anthology in 1816.
