We are just back from a lovely visit to the Island of Skye We joined our friends there in order to do some psalmody work which included:
some tips on the Sol-fa system of reading music,
giving out a new set of 12 tunes for this coming year,
some background on some of the tunes
and, most important of all, some singing in our customary style - unaccompanied, led by a "Precentor".
There was an adult session and a children's session.

As usual our host was Rev. Ritchie Ross who looked after us very well.
"Do remember the tune carries the all-important words"
Ali is one of the excellent Skye Precentors.
It didn't sound like a psalm but we know all creatures glorify their Creator.
Praise ye the Lord.....
Praise ye him all his angels: praise ye him all ye hosts.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him all ye stars of light.
Praise him ye heaven of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
Praise the Lord...... beasts and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl
Praise ye the Lord.
Praise ye him all his angels: praise ye him all ye hosts.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him all ye stars of light.
Praise him ye heaven of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
Praise the Lord...... beasts and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl
Praise ye the Lord.
from Psalm 148
