The piece is homophonic with the bagpipes playing main melody throughout and with a ideophone that may be a tambourine as well as some sort of membraneophone playing accompaniment. The bagpipes throughout have a low pitch droning noise playing underneath its melody. The melody itself does not have a large change in range, but the range it is in it jumps all around in changing pitch throughout. There is also a distinct buzzing to the sound caused by the reed of the instrument. The meter is not distinct at first but when the drum come in it is in 4/4. The song is also disjunct jumping around throughout. The song has dynamic and tempo changes throughout but for the most part the tempo is allegro.
