Celtic christian music of the first second and third millennia inspiring scottish christian music and song

The oldest, 'The Hymn of St Columba', was written in the 6th Century and has been sung at the burial of every Scottish king since then. 'The Lord's Prayer' is sung to the original tune for which Robert Burns wrote the words of 'Auld Lang Syne', in the 18th Century. 'Light of Light' is Kirsten's own song, written for this album. When it became obvious that our record label R2 should record Kirsten, it immediately became clear that the content should be of a folk/religious nature. Kirsten has long been a lover of the songs on this album. There is a wealth of traditional/folk material in the hymns and religious songs of Scotland and Ireland. Now these tunes have been given a Celtic treatment.
