HARA
PO
POLSKU KLIKN¥Æ TUTAJ
There is one more type of
doubling which appears in simple tunes, but for some inexplicable reason,
traditionally is rarely taught with basic technique. Equally inexplicable is
that is doesn’t have an established name, yet is universally played and
recognised. I call this movement
“HARA”, as this is the ‘canntaireachd’ description of the
embellishment. (Canntaireachd is an old system of notating pipe music by using
words instead of writing on the five lines of the stave, and is still used for ‘piobaireachd’,
the classical, or art music of the ‘pipes.
Order of Events:

Starting note - ‘E’ in example 35.
