The music 'Killearnan' comes from the pipe tune book 'The Barley Skimmers' by Hilary de Vries. Played here on electronic chanter by Maarten de Vries, the melody and style of phrasing reflect the influence of piobaireachd/pibroch, the classical music of the Highland bagpipes.
Killearnan is an area on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. The video shows a field of barley, a common crop on the Black Isle, and aims to capture something of the atmosphere of the music and of the land.
