Course Summary
The course will focus on Gaelic song and its role in society. The approach will be thematic, and the areas to be addressed will include song and sense of place, religion, the emigrant experience, the role of the township bard, and community and labour. The overall aim will be to show how song interacts with the community. Performance will be emphasised, and the course will draw on recordings housed in the School of Scottish Studies Archives at the University of Edinburgh as well as on live sung examples.
