Name: Ps 36 v 5-11 - Land Of Rest by ScottishPsalmody
Duration: 3 min 25 s
Description: A selection of psalm recordings recorded at a Christian Youth Weekend.

Performed in Heaven is a compact disc of metrical psalms recorded at the Psalmody Recitals, held each winter since 1971 (except 1977) at St Vincent Street Free Church in Glasgow, where sizeable congregations gathered from a variety of churches and denominations. The psalms on the compact disc are all sung by the entire congregation and, as such, reflect the unaffectedness of congregational praise. The recordings are an authentic reflection of the type of singing that has been heard in the Reformed churches of Scotland since the Reformation. In order to produce this unique compilation of congregational psalm-singing, it was necessary to re-master recordings made with the technology of an earlier era. Thus, the recordings themselves span a period of twenty-five years, with the majority being from the seventies or eighties.

Ps 36 v 5-11 - Land Of Rest

27  They reel and stagger like one drunk,
       at their wit's end they be:
28  Then they to God in trouble cry,
       who them from straits doth free.

29  The storm is changèd into a calm
       at his command and will;
    So that the waves, which ragèd before,
       now quiet are and still.

30  Then are they glad, because at rest
       and quiet now they be:
    So to the haven he them brings,
       which they desirèd to see.

31  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!


Psalm 107 v27-31 (Tune: Torwood)

17  I shall not die, but live, and shall
       the works of God discover.
18  The Lord hath me chastised sore,
       but not to death giv'n over.

19  O set ye open unto me
       the gates of righteousness;
    Then will I enter into them,
       and I the Lord will bless.

20  This is the gate of God, by it
       the just shall enter in.
21  Thee will I praise, for thou me heard'st
       and hast my safety been.

Psalm 118 v16-21 (Tune: Coleshill)

Psalm 84

The Holy Bible - Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy, 13

Sung from Sing Psalms (2003) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM) 

1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid;
2 And therefore, though the earth gives way,
we will not be afraid.

Though mountains fall into the sea,
3 though waters foam and roar,
We will not fear, though mountains quake
as waves engulf the shore.

4 A river flows, whose streams delight
the city of our God—
The holy place, in which the LORD
Most High has his abode.

5 God is within his holy place;
the city will not yield,
For God will come at break of day
to be her help and shield.

6 The nations are in disarray;
the kingdoms disappear.
God speaks, and at his mighty voice
the whole earth melts with fear.

Psalm 46 v1-6 (Tune: Stroudwater)

Note To Precentors & Harmony Learners:

I hope these resources will be a useful tool for anyone who wants to learn the harmonies set in the Scottish Psalter through either sol-fa or staff.

This will also help precentors become more familiar with the tunes avoiding panicking!

I have been inspired to learn and record the Psalms with the sol-fa harmony parts that go with each tune in the Scottish Psalm Psalters.

I love to play guitar & keyboard/piano in my spare time also and I thought it would be a good idea to learn the Psalm tunes on guitar & keyboard with the parts as I find it relaxing. I hope it benefits listeners whether just for relaxing or for making the parts clearer.

HOW I RECORD THE PSALMS & GUITAR:

All four parts are recorded in a stereo recording. Most recordings are recorded as follows: Soprano is positioned middle right, Bass middle left, Tenor left ear and Alto right ear. Headphones are recommended as you can hear the parts clearer.
