The Skye Boat Song

Take your listeners on a journey through time with this arrangement of the theme song to the popular TV show Outlander. This 19th-century Scottish folk song tells the story of a young lad or lass on a journey far from home. Accompanied by handbells, the additional parts (tenor and alto or viola and cello duet) are not optional, but the words may be substituted with the hymn Spirit of God, Unseen as the Wind when used in worship settings. Alternatively, strings may be substituted for the voice parts.
