dc.description.abstractThe primary purpose of this thesis is to explore new expressive possibilities for the Great Highland bagpipe, thus providing a resource for composers. Bagpipers may also be stimulated to venture beyond the confines of the conservative bagpiping tradition. In order to provide a context for these innovations, this work describes first the traditions of the Great Highland bagpipe and its culture. A selection of new compositions, including my own, is included to show how these 'extended techniques' can be used musically. Also included are brief discussions on the use of the Great Highland bagpipe in other musical genres. This thesis comprises six parts: Part One: Traditional Highland Bagpiping Part Two: Recent Musical Trends Part Three: Extended Techniques Part Four: New Compositions Part Five: Bagpipes in Other Musical Genres Part Six: Concluding Tips for Composersen_NZ
