Interesting- tell us more.

No it’s still sang

Perhaps bc much of ‘different musics’ is quite blatantly satanic? Not to pushback against such dilution is undiscerning of what actually constitutes Divine (or simply Christian) music, imho x

Beautiful, brought back many childhood memories of this presentor or and his father presenting in our home when we were kids

I am a Welsh man and can wholeheartedly say Amen to your comments! We Celtic Christians share a common ancestry that dates back to Noah, despite what the mainstream media and press would have us believe! We are descendants of Noah via his son Japheth and his son Gomer, father of us Gomerians ie Cymmerians of modern day Crimea, Germany and Cymru or Gymru ( Welsh)

Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland!

So simple, yet so majestic and sublime.

GOD ,LORD JESUS CHRIST the SAVIOUR took you to that church

I great revival took place in the hebrides . God is real and we can expierience him . Jesus Christ is Lord . His words will never vanish. Heaven and Hell is real . God bless you

Amen , Jesus said I am the way and the truth and the life , no man comes to the Father except through me. Jesus died for us it is only by his shed blood as an atonement for our sin we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven .Believe in your heart Jesus is God and he cares for you. Xx

Needless to say the Scots Irish are so-called, because at the time of their emigration to America they were considered somewhere between Scottish and Irish or rather a bit of both.

Not exactly. The "Scots-Irish" of Appalachia are actually descendants of lowland Scots who moved to Ulster in Ireland and wouldn't have spoken Gaelic. However they would have sung in a similar way as this style was once common all over Britain.

This "old way of singing" was also practiced in England.

These psalms came from England originally with Cromwell. I think you'll find that the Anglo Saxons never got to the Isles. Although the Kings of Scotland in the lowlands did and destroyed them to unite Scotland under their own rule.

You forgot about the non Celtic Norse who made the Hebrides Norse-Gaels..

@@joegill3612 The psalms were here long before the Republican

Orthodox what?

+‫ברכי נפשי את אדוני‬‎ Russian Orthodox

This is Presbytarin chant. Catholicism pre dates it. As does Christianity before the East -West Schism of the Roman church and Constantinople.

RidseardMhicCoinnich this chant predates Rome / Latin church . The Celtic church in particular , just like in Ireland . Scotland worshiped in their own tongue , and liturgical form . The Irish did so until the Synod of Whitby. When they capitulated to Rome . The Scots , the likes of St. Kentigern . The patron Saint of lGlasgow Who raised St. Serfs cook . from the the dead. Wether it was Rome , or or Cromwell, or the English who sent the scots Irish to America as slaves. Their cultural identity still continues.

Ettoredipugnar I was always lead to believe that the early Christian church emerged after its founder died in the Middle East. Spreading west through Greece and Rome. And eventually arriving in these islands much later. Or did it somehow bypass Rome earlier to introduce the religion to the Celts. The Presbyterian Free Church psalm singing here can hardly predate Latin or Byzantine chant as the Reformation didn't arrive in Europe until the time of Luther and Knox. Not being a follower of any particular faith or cult but I do enjoy all forms of liturgical music.

+Curtis Evans do any gaelic language speakers exist

+MrVidification just go to the highlands of Scotland like bute and the isle of Lewis you will find gealic speakers there

ghostlylover99123 sorry I was more or less asking 'how many speakers are there in the US, or in Virginia', in reference to the initial post, but it's ok, lol. If you were in the isle of lewis then I'd be in the nearest mainland city. In Scotland I suspect the numbers in the islands may be dwindling as young people leave the islands and land is (at a guess) possibly bought up, but one single tv channel attempts to keep the language going in the UK. I have never heard gaelic psalm on there, only traditional highland (bagpipes et al), and scottish folk singing covering all ages

The prime difference being, not the language, but the content. ORBs sing man-made hymns in this fashion, in English. These folk are singing God's Word in the Psalms. Similarity is in several areas. Both are vocal-only (believing it to be Scriptural), both use "lining out", both sing slowly to express reverence, and both allow much individual improvisation within the confines of the general tune. Both are heart-felt.

Did any Scots Irish Presbyterians sing the Psalms like this in Appalachia? Even in English?

There are no drums nor bells to be heard here! This is New Testament worship. In Spirit and in Truth with no mechanical accompaniments!

That sound is deeply spiritual, whether you believe in the precise creed of the Free Church or not.

If it wasn't religious it wouldn't exist.

@@alistairthompson8311 All the Ghaidhlig Presbyterian churches sing like that.

because it is orthodox Celtic christianity

ghostlylover99123 I do not agree. Orthodoxy is as foreign to the British Isles as Hinduism, Islam, or Buddhism. It's only there now because of immigrants and refugees that arrived in the 20th Century. Whereas this music is clearly within the tradition of Scots Presbyterianism. That's pretty far away from Orthodoxy.

There are different types of orthodoxy. If you're talking about Eastern Orthodoxy, or Greek Orthodoxy for example, then yes, it is alien to the British Isles. But Celtic Orthodoxy is orthodoxy in its own right.

Benjamin Hammond There is absolutely not historical evidence at all that "Celtic Orthodoxy" ever existed. The fact of the matter is that Orthodoxy never came to the British Isles until immigrants from Eastern Europe arrived.

@@ghostlylover99123 nothing to do with the Celts.. Theses songs are sung Scots Gaelic, which is a completely different race language and culture from the Celts.

Thank you.........with my jaw on the floor!!

Part of the Declaration of Arbroath and the Scots journey from Israel. 'They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today' '

"original Scots came from Israel... Lewis was originally Levis or the island of the Levites and the Hebrides were the islands of the Hebrews." What a load of fairy tale British Israelite nonsense! Lewis is from the Norse Ljoðahus, house of song. No one knows where Hebrides is from, but it's probably Pictish, like many ancient place names in Scotland. Sorry, but the ancient Israelites have nothing to do with the Scots. Neither do the Sumerians, Aztecs, Japanese or any other far flung group you might fancy yourself descending from. Scots are mostly descended from Neolithic farmers, Celts (Pictish, Cumbrian and Gaelic), Norse, and Anglo-Saxons; just like the rest of the indigenous peoples of Britain. Boring but true.

***** Yes, yes, Scots are Scythians, just like Croatians are Persian, Hungarians are Sumerian, African Americans are Ancient Egyptians, etc., etc. I can find a dozen crackpot articles on the internet to support any one of those claims, but I'm afraid it would all be nationalist nonsense based on coincidence and purposeful misreading to suit a pre-conceived narrative. Even the Declaration of Arbroath itself doesn't contain an authentic account of an actual migration. It's an invented history for a people who were finding their identity, trying to differentiate themselves from their neighbours and define their place in history. It's no wonder they and their contemporaries hit upon an ancient spelling confusion and invented a myth out of it, allowing them to imagine a proud lineage going back thousands of years. People have been creating national mythologies out of wilful misinterpretation for millennia. It's the same reason Virgil cast the Trojans as founders of Rome - he even pulled the same trick with spelling, conflating Iulus with the unrelated Ilios, allowing Augustus to trace his lineage back to the goddess Venus. All complete nonsense, of course, but it served a useful political purpose, which is the important part. We're doing a disservice to people of the past if we pretend that they couldn't bend the truth to suit their needs just as much as modern writers can. Although I suppose I should thank you for that "Evolutionists will deny that" crack to let me know you were coming from cuckoo land right away. I must say I find your channel very entertaining too! Maybe the Jesuit NWO are covering up the truth that the Scots are descended from North Iranians?

AndorianBlues It was the Romans who called the island Levis and the archipelago the Hebridae. The Norse translated Levis into their own language. It's also interesting that modern DNA testing links the Celtic / Pictish gene to Israel and the Levant. Also the Celtic place names throughout Europe like Gaul, Galatea, Galatia, Galloway etc. and the word gaelic all stem from Galilee....hardly a coincidence.

However, vastly unique.

No singing like this in Orthodox tradition
