Summary
An explanation on the structure of ceòl mòr.
George Moss explains how a piece of ceòl mòr is made up. First there is the ground [ùrlar] or theme, and then different variations on that theme. He illustrates the different variations by playing on the practice chanter, and singing in canntaireachd, snippets of the tunes 'Glengarry's Lament', 'The Little Spree' and 'Corrienessan's Salute'.
