The Household Division presents The Queen and the Commonwealth in the Platinum Jubilee year A Military Musical Spectacular. Horse Guards Parade London 5th-7th July 2022 The Crags of Tumbledown Mountain Composed by Pipe Major James Riddell. https://www.householddivision.org.uk/... Crags of Tumbledown Mountain Pipe Major J Riddell - 2nd Battalion Scots Guards The Crags of Tumbledown Mountain is a pipe tune with a fascinating history. Composed in 1982 by Pipe Major James Riddell of the 2nd Battalion, Scots Guards, it commemorates the battle of Tumbledown Mountain. On the 2nd of April, 1982 Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in an attempt to take sovereignty of the archipelago from the United Kingdom. The invasion was, in part, an attempt to distract the Argentinian public from domestic issues and generate some national pride. The Argentinian Government felt that the British would give up the islands without recourse. They were gravely mistaken. Mount Tumbledown guarded the approach to Port Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands, and its height gave the Argentinian 5th Marine Battalion control of the area. The first attack started at 2030hrs on June 13th and the fighting continued through the night in what was the last battle of the war. By 0900hrs the following morning, the mountain had been captured after a fierce fighting and hand to hand combat. After the battle, James Riddell climbed to the top of the mountain and played a tune he had written in commemoration of the event. That tune was ‘The Crags of Tumbledown Mountain’. Performed here in an arrangement that combines Military Band and Pipes, the reflective start evolving into a march serves as an ideal musical tribute to one of the finest hours of the Regiment.
