Thanks,I didn't know anything about the tune, I learned it by osmosis at Flemish sessions and volksbals.

Flemish sessions and Volksbals ~ lucky you...
So, have you tried it minorish yet ol' friend?
# Posted on August 1st 2006 by ceolachan
It sounds good in the minor.My French is almost non-existent,but I thought that the title meant something like "The Stranger From Limoise". The French for bagpipe is cornemuse, and a Google search reveals only that Limoise is a town in France.
Puzzled of Belgium.

The alternate title given is something it just seems to have picked up...probably because the stranger from Limoise was a Limoisine piper...my guess...a lovely tradition in itself...
# Posted on August 3rd 2006 by ceolachan
Have just been playing it in both major & minor and definitely prefer it in the minor. Any idea how old it is Daffyd?

20th Century...

The name has a story behind it, as you might guess (although I'm hazy on the details). When they were doing some roadworks, or demolition, or moving a graveyard, or something like that in Limoise they came across a grave containing both a skeleton and the remains of a set of pipes. The grave was un-named, so the identity of the piper was unknown, but the story caught the imagination of the French folk world and M Heintzen penned the tune in the piper's honour. There are apparently (french) words to it somewhere out there.
Incidentally, there is no truth in the rumour that the piper was found staked through the heart with his chanter. This would be entirely unnecessary as all that is required to stop a piper rising again is to cut off their head and stuff their bellows with garlic...
