This music book is a tribute to our American friends, and was born
from the shock and despair of September the eleventh, 2001.
Friendship is evidenced in its many ways of kindness and understanding,
and this book is one way to show that we Canadians empathize with our
American neighbours.
“Friends and Neighbours” is a memorial to our dear friends and even to
our family members lost in those terrorist attacks. Songs of national
and patriotic significance have been arranged for pipers, along with
folklore songs of our countries.
Here are National Anthems of Canada and the United States, songs of our
nations, with music carefully arranged for the pipes, including hymns of
friendship that will draw us into an even closer fellowship.
Insight into the characteristics of a friend will help us to appreciate
that the caring of a friend is cherished as much during periods of
adversity as during celebrations. Assertion is made that to have a
friend, is to be one, and that it is well to make Jesus our closest
Friend; One with whom all griefs, sorrows and joys may be shared.
“Friends and Neighbours” will provide suitable music for patriotic and
memorial services and will bring pipers into fellowship with Jesus, to
make their participation meaningful and sincere. Confident that “Jesus
Is A friend Of Mine,” we may join together in songs such as, “God Bless
America,” and “The Maple Leaf Forever.”
