This is a lovely song, and I enjoy the pictures, but the singers aren't really syncing up, or listening to each other, the harmonies can be really beautiful.
@liaquirk I think it is wonderful as it is , it is perfection to my ears because it sounds as I would imagine some every day people would sing a prayer. The John Renbourn Group is performing it and John Renbourn wrote this.
Beautiful song and pictures. Interesting to discover when I investigated what the Carmina Gadelica was and it turns out it was a collection of prayers and songs from the Western Isles of Scotland and originally in Gaelic.
Dig deep and there's always a link to the tiny nation of Scotland somewhere. lol!
@goonwards John Renbourn recorded this 2 times: On the album John Renbourn Group - Ship of Fools and on John Renbourn - Traveler's Prayer. This version is the Ship of Fools one.

@liaquirk Also see Polyphonic singing. This type of singing is related to that type of music.
