Two selections from "Songs and Pipes of the Hebrides" LP (1952, Folkways Records). Recorded in the Hebrides (Scotland) by Polly Hitchcock. Click "Show More" for details: 01. Hi-Ri-Hoireann O - 0:00 - Traditional Scottish-Gaelic "Waulking song" from the outer Hebrides sung by John MacLeod. "Waulking is an ancient process used for making tweed fabric more flexible and windproof. A waulking song refers to a type of song - usually sung by a group of women workers - used to make this process into a more sociable occasion. To keep everyone in time, the work was accompanied by song. There would be one person leading with lyrics based on a well-known story, some aspect of village life or general gossip, and the others would join in after each line with some nonsense syllables (serving the same purpose as 'la-la-la' in modern songs). It was considered unlucky to repeat a whole verse, so the songs often had many verses with each line repeated once to form a verse, perhaps giving the lead singer time to think of the next line". 02. Puirt à beul - 3:13 - "Mouth Music" medley sung by John MacLeod and John MacInnes. “The Scottish Gaelic term "Port à beul“ refers to 'a tune from the mouth' - specifically a cheerful tune - whice in the plural becomes "Puirt à beul". This type of song was sometimes used to accompany dancers when no instruments were available. Usually, the genre involves a single performer singing lighthearted, often bawdy lyrics, although these are often replaced by meaningless vocables".
