<p>Research-led UK and Ireland listening expansion; preserve existing recordings, native bindings and unrelated live data.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> Scottish Gaelic song encompasses songs in Scottish Gaelic, including narrative, lyrical, work-related and dance-related repertoire. It is distinct from Scots-language song and from a general instrumental Scottish-traditional collection.<br /> <br /> == Contemporary and trending ==<br /> <br /> Current recordings and concert performances keep this repertoire in circulation. The listening collection includes recent and worthwhile earlier versions, with performer and version credits retained; it does not treat an upload date as a composition date. Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes, Karen Matheson, Gillebrìde MacMillan, Rona Lightfoot and Mischa Macpherson provide different voices and repertoire paths.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.feisean.org/en/creative/fuaran2/ Fèisean nan Gàidheal: Fuaran song research and transmission].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Songs have circulated through community singing, family transmission, work, migration, broadcasting and revival. Fèisean projects such as Fuaran support young singers researching and learning locally held repertoire.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.thetraditionbearers.co.uk/listen/ The Tradition Bearers: listening archive].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Musical characteristics ==<br /> <br /> Melodic line, ornament, text and phrasing carry the song; unaccompanied performances coexist with carefully arranged ensembles. Puirt-à-beul and waulking songs have particular rhythmic and social functions, not a single interchangeable style.<br /> <br /> == Geography and communities ==<br /> <br /> The Hebrides and western Highlands hold especially strong language and song networks. Urban Gaelic communities and professional performance extend the practice elsewhere in Scotland and beyond, without making the whole country uniformly Gaelic-speaking.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.feisean.org/en/creative/fuaran2/ Fèisean nan Gàidheal: Fuaran song research and transmission].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Artists ==<br /> <br /> Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes, Karen Matheson, Gillebrìde MacMillan, Rona Lightfoot and Mischa Macpherson provide different voices and repertoire paths.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Recording entrances ===<br /> <br /> Julie Fowlis — Julie Fowlis - Hug Air a&#039; Bhonaid Mhoir (Scottish Gaelic)&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7jW5qDexnc Julie Fowlis - Hug Air a&#039; Bhonaid Mhoir (Scottish Gaelic)] — primary release/performance credits.&lt;/ref&gt;; Kathleen MacInnes; Sarah Jarosz — Oran a Cloiche - Kathleen MacInnes and Sarah Jarosz&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W7QM8X2EdE Oran a Cloiche - Kathleen MacInnes and Sarah Jarosz] — primary release/performance credits.&lt;/ref&gt;.
