Scores & Psalms
Scores
All scores are produced with Musescore. You can download PDFs or the Musescore files to use or edit. A few of the tunes have been transposed and harmonies tweaked.
Words
If not from the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalms, words come from the Genevan Psalter, Sing Psalms, and occasionally elsewhere as indicated.
Audio
The audio accompanying most of the Psalms below was recorded during the first lockdown when church services went on-line. We had to choose between pumping out YouTube clips or five of us singing live at a microphone built for one. For better or worse, we chose the latter. It was impossible to persuade Windows 10 not to hijack the microphone, causing wild volume fluctuations, so although the spikes in the audio files have been levelled, there’s no way of fixing the rattly speaker noise.
Three of the recording are from Lydia & Samuel’s wedding, held in Dunblane Cathedral during July 2023. Those recordings are a from a mix of lapel microphone and smartphone recordings.
