"dance to the piper: The Highland Bagpipe in Nova Scotia" traces the development of bagpipe playing in Nova Scotia and its relationship to Gaelic society and its musical culture over a two hundred year period. The book also includes a cd of early recordings of pipers and fiddlers from Nova Scotia. It is based on my Master of Arts dissertation. It covers many aspects of Highland immigration, Gaelic culture, musical families, pipers and fiddlers illustrating the wide variety of playing styles once common in Nova Scotia.
