10. Hanter dro: Dessous un rosier blanc (trad. Brittany) | E kostez an Henbont (trad. Brittany)

The hanter dro is a simple, traditional Breton dance. It is rare for Breton dance tunes to have titles, and it's likely these two are titled after the lyrics that may be sung to them. We begin this set in the nervy Phrygian mode, a mode almost never heard on Scottish-style bagpipes. 'E kostez An Henbont' ("On the Hennebont side [of the river]") was recorded by the Battlefield Band on Celtic Hotel (1987). (And according to the Celtic Hotel album notes: "We learned it from the playing of one of the early and best known bands of the Breton revival, Diaouled Ar Menez… By the way, we don't play the full tune —these are the 'edited highlights'!")
