Geek question, STNG related
I just know I will take a ton of shit for this one, but wanted some help, since Google failed me.
In the Star Trek Next Generation episode of the Inner Light, Picard learns to play a tin whistle. Anyway, the final scene is him playing a song on it. I want to know what that song was. First correct answer gets my long living appreciation. I want to see specifically if that song can be played on a bagpipe as well, so extra credit to anyone that finds the sheet music. Would like played at my upcoming nuptials.
BTW- not frere jacques, the other song.
UPDATE: Damn you dudes move fast. Here is the song:

You mean the song starting at 0:33?
Or is this just some devious ploy to find someone who’s as big a geek as you?

My work is done
That’s the one. Since you are in the wedding VT, you get an extra pint that evening on me.
So it was written just for the show, and not it’s own song, eh? Bet I would have to pay a shit ton to get a bagpiper to learn it.
i am in awe of this immense level of geekdome.
What do you mean, since I’m in the wedding?!!? First I’ve heard of that.
I am totally catching the bouquet….
How come you didn’t just ask Wil Wheaton on twitter? @wilw 😀
You are one of my groomsmen dumbass. Did I not already tell you that? You are walking with an attractive blond chick you know.
This sounds like that Celine Dion song from Titanic…
Damn you guys are fast, when I checked in this had zero responses…..I find the damn music only to get beaten by Woody…..
I was going to be a smart ass and tell you it was Frere Jacques…
I always thought that was called a pennywhistle?
Note to self-read comments before descending into geek search for info. That’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
It is from a real song. According to the folks at
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ressikan_Flute
They say the following:
“The tune played by Picard in “The Inner Light” was an excerpt from “Scottish Fantasy”, originally composed by Max Bruch and re-composed by Jay Chattaway.”
Whoa…I get to escort the future Mrs.Woody? Sweet deal my friend.
I’ll have to make sure to bring my “tin whistle”
and I thought that VT was going to be walking down the aisle with a balding thirty something that shares a name with a famous astronaut…
Caro–you have a bridesmaid named, “Buzz”?
Technically I guess he would be a bridesman…
I think this is the point where I start reaching for the brain bleach.
It’s a beautiful song.
Since you will be having a piper, will you be needing a drummer? (I was a percussion major in college) If so, I’m your huckleberry. I can also play piano, if needs be.
Just sayin…..
respects,
VT… I suspect that “catching the bouquet” takes on a whole new meaning when it’s done with a bayonet.. 🙂
I can play flute and piccolo…but, well, it’s been a long time…
Whoa VT. I know its a long winter up there being from Island Pond myself but you knew all that? Get out and do a little ice fishing or something.
Good luck with your wedding.
“Tapestry” has always been by favorite STNG episode. Though the one when the Enterprise “c” showed up is another. They were both on those two recently released DVDs awhile back.
Forgot…
The chubby guy, is from Office Space.
“If this is the best they’ve got, we’ll be running this place in six months”- Charleton Heston, Planet of the Apes.
I also saw someone say that it is based on this, and after a cursory listen, it does sound similiar.
And that you Cedo, I’ve been trying to place that dude, he’s the Jump to Conclusions Mat guy.
Yeah, thanks for inviting me to the nuptials, there, gimp.
When is it, anyway?
OT, no one has been invited yet. We just locked down a date last Wednesday.
I know, dude, I should have put a sarcasm alert in there. I figured if you were in full geek mode looking for music from STNG that you have at least had the date figured out.
BTW My favorite episodes of STNG are when Worf gets his man card back during the Klingon civil war.
I have a new-found level of respect for ya’ll.
