Although Derwentwater's Farewell is an excellent to play as the mourners are coming in or going out at a funeral as well as playing for the committal, it is fraught with danger of squeaks when playing the lower notes on the chanter. Much safer to play The Rowan Tree which does not use the keys and is a good tune?for the occasion.

It is in Pauline Cato's "Northumbrian Choice" book, p. 21. However, it is always worthwhile talking to the persons concerned to get their feel for the occasion.
