Synopsis
A fresh look at Anglican chant that centers the real rhythm of the Psalms, helping choirs sing with clarity and dignity.
This edition argues that church music is built to honor the words as much as the melody. It explains how true antiphony and free rhythm can reshape chant to fit the Psalm-verse, not force the verse to fit a fixed meter.
- Reframes chanting around the rhythm and cadence of the Psalms rather than rigid metres.
- Details how to maintain antiphonal structure within each verse and chant, with practical guidance.
- Offers a practical system for guiding recitation that preserves dignity while avoiding overemphasis on small words.
- Discusses how translations, punctuation, and historical practice influence liturgical singing today.
Ideal for church musicians, choir directors, and readers interested in liturgical music and chant theory.
