I felt this order and repeating of parts works best and can be also played along with other tunes of this style, such as Skye Boat Song and Glencoe (which is a song based on a pipe tune composed by Pipe Major Farquhar Beaton of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, which was a 6/8 March titled Colonel Robertson). I then found a copy of it years ago and started to play the tune and eventually wrote the tune out on paper and then finally transcribed it to music writing software. It was at one of those shows I hear Andy Stewart sing the tune. The 48th Highlanders of Canada Pipes and Drums which I was a member of at one time, often took part in the opening of the show, the opening of the second half and closing. It was when Andy Stewart was part of the White Heather Concert’s that used to be an annual event in Toronto with took place at Massey Hall. Often you hear singers singing the tune to the melody of the original Pipe Tune’s music, I have arranged this tune based on a rendition that I found nice to listen to, which was sung by the late Scottish Singer Andy Stewart. In other instances they sing the verse then the chorus over once, so it would be part 2 then part 1 in my rendition. Other times, they will start with the second part and since the first part twice. Sometimes a singer will sing it this way. My arrangements for the pipes is using what is often though of the refrain or chorus as the first part played twice over, normally sung twice over and then the various stanza which are sung as the 2nd part played only once for each stanza. The famous Canadian writer the late Farley Mowat was an officer with The Hasting’s and Prince Edward Regiment. Some local Canadian Regiments that fought in this campaign were the 48th Highlanders of Canada and The Hasting’s and Prince Edward (Hasty P’s) Regiment. This was the landing point for those known as “The D-Day Dodgers” who were various Canadian, British and other countries regiments that landed on Sicily and fought their way through Italy during the Italian Campaign.

Sicily is off the coast of mainland Italy. The title of the son is also known as The 51st (Highland) Divisions Farewell to Sicily or “Farewell Ye Well Ye Banks of Sicily” or “Farewell Ye O’ Banks of Sicily”. The Creeks refers to The Creeks of Portknockie on the Banffshire Coast near Moray. The pipe tune was composed while Pipe Major Robertson was a German prisoner of war during World War I. TUNE 001 – The Banks of Sicily: is at song with the words by Hamish Henderson and is a slower rendition of the quick march Farewell to the Creeks composed Pipe Major James (Robbie) Robertson of the Gordon Highlanders.
