Religion is a subject that I'm being cautious about. However, just wanted to share the music of Psalm singing in the Hebrides with you, by virtue of this website. It explains the way it is done here, with audio clips. Rumour has it that there are areas of Alabama and the Carolinas where the Afro-Americans conduct their services in a similar manner. Hope you enjoy!

That was absolutely beautiful !! Thank you so much for sharing, Guido. Even though I couldn't understand, I followed along in my Bible as each scripture was sung. Realizing it didn't matter if I understood the words because I knew our Heavenly Father hears & understands the praise of his people, no matter what the language. Linda in Washington state
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of making tea but will look in on this later.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading somewhere when touching on linguistics in the 1990's that language use in the Carolinas, as well as the Afro-American's music was influenced by Scottish Folk music as well as their language use because of those who emigrated to America many years ago.
Just something in your entry prompted me to remember that.

thank you for posting this; I earmarked it and will check back with it when I have more time; did see some special psalms I know listed there so anxious to see what they sound like here

I tuned into this Pharm, it was lovely. I'm hoping to get a copy as shown on your link. I think our pal Lily might like it too so I'm going to direct her along. Cheers, Peg oxo
