Peter Roderick MacLeod (1879-1965) is one of the most iconic bagpiper-composers of the early 20th century, laying a foundation of style upon which many bagpipe composers would build to the present. In addition to the exceeding quality of many of his tunes, he was a relatively prolific composer, his oeuvre estimated to be well over 200 tunes, many of which are currently lost and/or unpublished. This collection of 50 tunes is those that are in published volumes from the 20th century, the largest collection of which is The Bicentennial Collection Volume 2 published in the United States; about 60 tunes are printed therein. There are perhaps still many tunes by Peter MacLeod Sr. to yet be explored. Enjoy this compilation of many of his most iconic and lesser played works.
