Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla attend a special service in St Giles’ Cathedral for the presentation of the Honours of Scotland

And the accordion featured!

Very beautiful.
Is this a Phil Cunningham piece?

I think it is audio alone at 1:10:10. It is in the program (programme in UK English) as “Traditional arr. Ryan Corbett – Selection of traditional tunes (Ryan Corbett, accordion)”. Does that make sense?

It is!

Lovely arrangement of a traditional style Scottish air for classical (free bass) accordion. Without question the tune's arrangement and the instrument work very well. I think it could be one of many methods of developing an authentic and beautiful repertoire for the free bass instrument. That and Bach's keyboard music... not a bad start.​

Absolutely, traditional music and freebass go hand in glove and somehow the more delicate approach treats these old tunes with a greater respect.

Absolutely!

Simplicity, sensitivity and subtlety can lift these tunes to the next level.
