Scottish Psalter "Elgin"

**Elgin** is a Scottish psalm tune named after the town of Elgin in northeastern Scotland. It was included in the *Scottish Psalter* printed in Aberdeen in 1625. This edition is known as the first Scottish psalter to be published with four-part harmony.

I have arranged and performed this old tune for the wire-strung Irish harp.

In *The Gaelic Psalm*, the Gaelic psalm tradition of the Scottish Highlands, the text was sung in a completely different style and to a different melody.

Performed on the 20-string wire-strung harp "Celtic Pattern" (op. 361), made of Japanese cypress.
