In this complete music edition of an Ulster-Scots Psalter, all 150 Psalms in metre (for singing) have been translated by Philip Robinson from the English of the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter into Ulster-Scots. Each Psalm is set to at least one ‘traditional’ tune, and a Psalm tunes index has been added. In his introduction, Philip Robinson also provides an historical account of the religious, cultural and literary importance of the Psalm-singing tradition to Ulster-Scots communities over the past 400 years.
