about

Enters Venus is a version of this 1968 tune for bagpipe (without drones) and drums, and is one of several tunes of mine which lend themselves to the Aeolian scale of the pipes. The tune is stated at the beginning and end with an extended improvised development leading from one to the other based on the embellishments taken from the Scottish pibroch tradition of solo piping of laments and salutes but in a more free and less regimented way, more free-pibroch than free-jazz. In a jazz context the omission of the drones allows any chromatically capable instruments slightly more leeway than if the insistent drone of Bb is ever present (most Highland bagpipes are more or less pitched top Bb) and they are forced to play just on the notes of the descending melodic minor scale.
