Auld Lang Syne - Scottish bagpipes and symphony orchestra

Koncert z okazji Dni Muzyki Europejskiej na Pomorzu - TYCHOWO 2009
Czestochowa Pipes & Drums z Królewską Orkiestrą Symfoniczną.

Auld Lang Syne, one of the most beautiful Scottish bagpipe songs. The most famous version is the performance of this song by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.

"Auld Lang Syne" is a popular song, particularly in the English-speaking world. Traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. By extension, it is also often heard at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions; for instance many branches of the Scouting movement use it to close jamborees and other functions.

The text is a Scots-language poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 but based on an older Scottish folk song. In 1799, it was set to a traditional tune, which has since become standard. "Auld Lang Syne" is listed as numbers 6294 and 13892 in the Roud Folk Song Index.

The poem's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since" or, less literally, "long long ago", "days gone by", "times long past" or "old times". Consequently, "For auld lang syne", as it appears in the first line of the chorus, might be loosely translated as "for the sake of old times".

The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (1570–1638), Allan Ramsay (1686–1757), and James Watson (1711), as well as older folk songs predating Burns.Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "in the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "once upon a time" in his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language.
Text:
Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.

Chorus:
On old long syne my Jo,
On old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On old long syne.

It might be a blessing from God that ＊Auld Lang Syne＊ is a folk song loved not only by Scottish people but also by non-Scottish people around the world ❤

[dlkpiwd]

What an Amazingly Happy world it would be if people all over the world could sing this song all together holding each other’s hands with the feelings as honest as children, unite their hearts as “ One” and live in peace ❤

[nevilledevery]

Yes this song is universal and the girls on the drums are something to behold.

[dlkpiwd]

Auld Lang Syne has been uttering modestly the voiceless words to people around the world through the melody that this song is a universal language without linguistic barriers in people’s deep psychology.

Proudly to say and mention Singapore has 'a Scottish band' of local bagpipers.

[catherinearrieta]

My family came from Scotland and I love this lets pass it on

[franceleeparis]

Auld Lang syne is magical with bagpipes... a spirit of Scotland and the coming of the new year...

[dlkpiwd]

How great it is for one to be able to be very proud of being Scottish as an identity in this chaotic world !!

[drrd]

It is crazy for me to think as a Scots woman that there is Pipe Bands like this all over the world, who dress in Traditional Scottish Highland dress and Play traditional Scottish music, it blows my mind! I have seen Scottish style pipe bands in South Africa, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium. It blows my mind since we are such a wee (small) country.

[dlkpiwd]

How great it should be that as long as people continue to sing Auld Lang Syne, whose spirit will have been living for ever and ever never to be dead in the heart of those listening to this song around the world !

These bagpipers are from Poland's greatest sanctuary city of Czestochowa, and in my own city of Gdansk on the southern coast of a Baltic sea we'v got here 2 districts, Celtic of a kind named Stare Szkoty &Nowe Szkoty(The Old Scots &New Scots) where the Scottish immigrants used to settle, time ago.They were supporting our resistance against the growing german power before& during the IIWW.I think this is one nice example of the friendly relations between the 2noble &severly experienced nations!

[dlkpiwd]

The deeper the reality is covered in darkness, the more our hearts are wrapped in warmth thanks to Auld Lang Syne ❤

[Heikkinen]

@RachaeLeNoire Polish-Scottish friendship was cemented together during World War II when Polish Army units were based in Scotland to train for the invasion of North Africa & Europe. The Scots were exceptionally hospitable hosts and many Polish-Scottish marriages resulted during and after the war. Thank You, Scots!!! Scotland Forever!!!

[floydstreet]

Don't have words to say how this is played, May Our God bless you the band; with his best blessings.

[PRtawan]
