The DVD version of this very fine video of the Pipes & Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is not much different than the VHS. The sound and picture quality is probably better, and there are a few extras about the history of the regiment.
Since losing their regimantal band in 1994, the pipes & drums have been soldiering on without them. It was hoped that perhaps they might have continued a little of that great music with the band of the Dragoon Guards but this didn't happen. With their demise now as well it does not seem that the combined sound of band and pipes well be the same as it was in the golden years of the Scots DGs music history.
"Highland Cathedral" is an attempt to carry on the "Amazing Grace" tradition and the Scots DGs do a great job with a variety of support elements. The Band of the Light Division is in the musical background with Graham Jones directing, but unfortunately we never get to see them with the pipes & drums. Interesting to note that the early 2008 USA tour of the Coldstream Guards and Royal Scots Dragoon Guards had Graham Jones now directing the Coldstreamers. With keyboards, various brass intruments and other background effects the pipes & drums of the Scots DGs show that they still have the innovative spirit.
The video would have been enhanced with the old regimental band, or any of the current bands of the Royal Armored Corps that were still around in 1998 when this was made. Still, it is a nice production with some great scenic views of Scotland. The pipes & drums have combined tourism with tradition here and it is a winning combination. Interesting to add that the CD released under this title has some slight differences in the music chosen. More 6/8 marches are used in the video for the marching I guess.
This DVD should be a popular item with the 2008 USA Tour, and shows that the innovative spirit that made the Scots DGs #1 with "Aamazing Grace" is still alive and well. The band are also shortly to release a another new CD in Feb 2008 which will have many of these arrangments as well as new selections. Nulli Secondus! |
