Genevan Psalter Music & Lyrics

From this page you can access all the psalm-specific resources I can make available. Here are various recordings of each psalm, sheet music of each, and versifications for that tune.

Click on the Psalm or song you're looking for to view the available resources.

** NOTICE **

Lyrics used in all nearly these settings come from the 1984 Book of Praise of the Canadian Reformed Church, subtitled "Anglo-Genevan Psalter."

THIS PSALTER IS CURRENTLY BEING REVISED!

All these lyrics will soon be obsolete, and those involved in the revision will desire these translations removed from circulation.

Please see the Book of Praise committee's website, www.BookOfPraise.ca for the improved lyrics.

I wish I'd known this when I began the project in 2005.

The page definition files (PDFs) are taken from a 6x9 spiral-bound psalter assembled for my private use. The music and typesetting are not copyrighted, but the lyrics are. Permission was granted to post these pages for download, but not to print hard copies. I hope to have this permission soon. Let me know if you're interested.

The MP3s are recordings of my voice singing all parts of the settings arranged from the Goudimel originals, up to three verses each. The music and recording are not copyrighted, but again, the lyrics are. Permission was granted to post these for download, but not to publish CDs. I hope to have this permission soon. Let me know if you're interested.

Other recordings include other voices or instruments as noted. None are copyrighted. Copyrighted recordings of these tunes will be available in the future on this site, or by link to another site, probably Wordmp3.

The Goudimel MIDI files are taken from the same Finale files which produced the PDFs. Other MIDI files, using different harmonies, were collected from various websites over the years.

The HTM files are unaltered texts which I have collected from various Psalters and websites over the years.

As more resources become available, I will post them. Please contact me with any additions or corrections.
