I haven't seen the film, but in the books there is a strong influence of medieval/renaissance Europe. It's in everything from politics to music instruments played by some characters. For example, there is a string instrument called a baliset which is a descendant from the zither.Not sure on those bagpipes though.. if that’s what is left of the human musical collective in the distant future then I think I would rather take my chances with the Harkonen.
I haven't heard the score either so I don't know if the bagpipes fit aesthetically with the film, but they sure fit thematically.
