Description: A selection of psalm recordings recorded at a Christian Youth Weekend.

Psalm 81 v 13-16 - Dingwall

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 

 5  I of thy glorious majesty
        the honor will record;
     I'll speak of all thy mighty works,
        which wondrous are, O Lord.

  6  Men of thine acts the might shall show,
        thine acts that dreadful are;
     And I, thy glory to advance,
        thy greatness will declare.

  7  The mem'ry of thy goodness great
        they largely shall express;
     With songs of praise they shall extol
        thy perfect righteousness.

Psalm 145 [1st version] (Tune: LochBroom)

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.

Psalm 24 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the Free Church of Scotland Inverness Festival of Psalms 2000.

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

10 But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

Hallelujah... Amen...

1     Lord, bless and pity us,
         shine on us with thy face:
   2  That th' earth thy way, and nations all
         may know thy saving grace.

   3     Let people praise thee, Lord;
         let people all thee praise.
   4  O let the nations be glad,
         in songs their voices raise:

         Thou'lt justly people judge,
         on earth rule nations all.
   5  Let people praise thee, Lord; let them
         praise thee, both great and small.

   6     The earth her fruit shall yield,
         our God shall blessing send.
   7  God shall us bless; men shall him fear
         unto earth's utmost end.

The recordings are simply over 2 verses, first verse is just the individual part then the tune comes in with the part in the second verse.

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.
