The Most Frequently Used Responsorial Psalms
This beautiful collection of musical settings of the new Grail Psalms translation highlights the distinctive role the psalms play in the proclamation of the word. Reflective and contemplative, the collection appeals to all pastoral musicians looking for unique ways to enhance their liturgy. With both chants and metered music, each Psalm strikes a balance between traditional and modern styles, while the verses, intended for a single cantor, give greater clarity to the proclamation of the word.
Ranging in tone and style, this collection provides inspiration to all, and the supplemental octavo packet gives your choir everything they need to share these wonderful songs with your whole assembly. From the soft, sweet tones of Psalm 103 to the upbeat and uplifting rhythms of Psalm 98, Grail Psalms for Sunday Worship* delivers a set of responsorial psalms that will capture your parish’s attention and get them actively involved in your liturgies throughout the year.
*Many of these psalms contain different verses and refrains for use at different liturgies throughout the liturgical year. In order to hear every version of the psalm, please purchase the MP3 Album, as it will contain all of the music found within the octavos. Some tracks will not contain duplicate verses or refrains between each psalm.
