Scotland is home to an incredible wealth and variety of sacred song traditions with unique and varied histories, providing soundtracks to peoples’ daily lives for generations. In this combined talk and performance, ethnomusicologist Frances Wilkins, together with Gaelic singer Kristine Kennedy, explores some of these traditions including Gaelic psalmody, hymnody and bàrdachd. The presentation will be followed by a Gaelic service in the church during which Kristine will be precenting the psalms.
