About the Performance
The Lewis Psalm Singers represent a unique and extraordinary congregational vocal music from the Gaelic Presbyterian Church. First a line of Psalm is intoned by a single precentor before congregational singers respond, each freely ornamenting the same melodic line to create an emotive swell of sound.
The singers present a selection from the repertoire of 150 Gaelic psalms commonly sung in the Western Isles. At times joyful, at times plaintive, this performance promises to be an intensely moving experience.
