College of Piping

(Bagpipe; Celtic)

The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts of Canada, located in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, has issued Ancestral Voices and Ancestral Voices Across the Sea, two collections dedicated to "keeping alive our Celtic heritage through voice and the sound of the great Highland bagpipe." These fine albums are hard to resist, though pipe lovers may find more vocals than they'd like.
