By applying Philip Taggs musematic analysis as an analytical tool (as proposed by Mathew Young) it examines notions of Celticness. At the same time it challenges simple attributions by comparing the music with other musical examples typically connected with Englishness and Tolkien's textual source as well as the writer's own intentions regarding his novel.

The examination of the own musical traditions plays a prominent role not only in the development of musical identities. Through them children and young people can develop attitudes that will enable them to meet the musics of other cultures in an open-minded way. At the same time the students are important actors in the process of handing down musical traditions. The methodological suggestions for improved teaching of traditional music listed in this article sketch a desirable educational practice that emanates from a context-bound, sensory, experience-based musical encounter involving extracurricular learning activities. However, this is always closely related to educational policy and institutional framework and objectives.

Whereas it might seem unfamiliar and strange to inexperienced hearers, for the participants themselves the Gaelic psalm singing on the Outer Hebrides is a deeply moving, emotional and spiritual experience.
First I will briefly sketch an overview of the origin(s), historical development and practice of this unique form of the praise of God. Subsequently I will attempt to demonstrate, using theoretical aspects of cultural (musical) hybridization, in what different ways modern artists deal with this historical tradition, subjecting it to a process of transformation and thus not only raising its public profile (on a national and international scale), but also making it accessible to a wider audience.

This is exemplified by the examination of musical attitudes of Scottish secondary school students in regard to Scottish traditional music. That influence in its social, linguistic, economic and historical dimension is seen as the cause of a distinct perception of music in the two major regions Highlands and Lowlands. This assumption could at least be corroborated by a quantitative survey led in four Scottish secondary schools, despite a relatively small sample size. A significant influence of Gaelic language ability and active music-making on the students’ attitude and perception could be identified. The paper thus acts as argument and plea for a continuation and intensification of promotion of traditional arts and the Gaelic language on the part of educational and cultural politicians. Finally challenges are presented, that the education system still has to face concerning the integration of traditional music in the music lessons. Solutions lie in a breakup of the enormous standardization, the implementation of a holistic education concept, in the improvement of teacher training and a fundamental inclusion of traditional music as an essential part of Scottish culture in the National Curriculum.
