Description

Michael Joncas's new Simple Psalter offers a fresh approach to psalm-singing, synthesizing elements of previous styles into a unique pattern. This collection sets every responsorial psalm in the three-year Lectionary to engaging settings that work well for both solo and accompaniment.

The antiphon for each setting can be sung unisonally or enhanced with optional voice or instrument parts, while the verses are set to a Gelineau-inspired "pulsed" psalm tone. The tones of the Simple Psalter respect form-critical studies of psalms, assigning them to particular categories.

The book is divided into four volumes: one for solemnities and celebrations, and one each for years A, B, and C. This new psalter provides a valuable resource for worship leaders and musicians seeking to enhance their psalm-singing repertoire.
