This is the traditional Scottish psalter, 1929 edition, for use in the Church of Scotland, arranged for choir or congregational singing. The pages are cut in two parts, so that the tunes appear at the top in 4-part arrangement, and the words of the psalms appear on the lower part of the page. The pages can be turned to match any tune to any psalm, though an index at the back suggests which tunes are best suited to each psalm and paraphrase. The text is not heavily pointed, relying on traditional practice and the music director's judgement to determine where the singer should move to the next pitch.
A fine book for church musicians wishing to perform Scottish psalms in the traditional manner, with the tradional tunes. ( )
