Favourite pipe tunes? Well I did post some to the "Best Marches" thread awhile ago, but here they are and some others. The various 6/8's such as MacNeil of Ugadale, Dr. Ross's 50th Welcome to Argyllshire Highland Gathering. I am partial to tunes by Donald Macleod, but I also like the traditional military tunes many such as Black Bear with Caller Herring, and The Meeting of the Waters. The Barren Rocks of Aden is also a fine tune, and I also like Leaving Port Askaig as well as Lord Alexander Kennedy. I like lots of the old traditional tunes - the Crimean Long Reveille medley is a childhood favourite that encouraged me to play the pipes. The Walrus is a nifty hornpipe.
The Kilworth Hills is a good 4/4 for a procession and for slow marches there is always the Skye Boat Song and the Highland Cradle Song. For funerals Dark Island and Lord Lovat's Lament work well as light music. The 78's tune "Journey to Skye" is amazing.
In the heavy tunes, Lament for the Old Sword, The Men Went to Drink, The Wee Spree, and "A Flame of wrath for Squinting Patrick" are favourites. Of course there are others I like; it's hard to pick favourites when there are so many great tunes.
