Publisher's Synopsis
The RSCM Book of Psalm Songs is a collection of 70 tried and tested settings of 50 psalms and canticles to enrich worship. With their combination of the ancient texts and contemporary stylish lyricism, psalm songs bridge the gap between traditional anthems and worship songs. The RSCM Book of Psalm Songs is available in two editions. One contains the full music (for cantors and keyboards); the other is a singers' edition (for choir members). All the settings can be accompanied by piano, keyboard or organ. Parts for guitar and melody instruments along with congregational refrains can be downloaded from the RSCM website to encourage participation by all. There is a special focus on psalms for seasons of the year and for themes and occasions. Composers include Teresa Brown, Bernadette Farrell, Marty Haugen, Philip Moore, David Ogden, Alan Smith.
