"North Country Small-pipes Tune ''' ''Note by Whittaker:'' '''The Northumbrian or Small Pipes differ from their better known Scottish brethren in several particulars. They are small, the tone is sweet and chirping, but not strong, and bellows are held under the arm. The end of the finger -pipe is stopped, which enables the executant to play staccato at will, a device which adds many characteristics to the tunes composed for or adapted to the instrument. (This point must be borne in mind when singing this choral setting.) Quick runs, arpeggio scales, trills, and embellishments of all kinds are possible, and, moreover, in keeping with the quality of tone, and are therefore largely indulged in by performers."
