Gaelic Psalm Singing

Calum Martin

Precentor in the Free Church of Scotland on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, and a bearer of Gaelic psalm singing. The precentor gives out the line and the congregation answers unaccompanied, each voice finding its own way through the tune. This is Reformed congregational worship first of all, and the sound it makes is what carries beyond it.
