Synopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: With the Words Printed for Expressive Singing and Accompanied by the Tunes Contained in the "Scottish Psalmody"
Psalmody holds a position distinct from the other departments of public worship. It is the utterance of the people as distinguished from' the utterance of the minister; and just as high attainment in the art of delivery is sought after by the former, so must the latter seek to cultivate that power of utterance for which the language of music has been given to them. The peculiar power of Psalmody, as a social religious exercise, consists in its being conducted through a medium which enables many, with one heart and one voice, to glorify God; but in producing this unity of design, it must be remembered that the worshippers are each dependent one upon another,-each must feel that he sings to edify others, and expects on his own part assistance from his fellow-worshippers. The delivery must be emotional and sympathetic emotional, by each worshipper feeling what is sung sympathetic, by each showing to others, in the mode of utterance, that it is felt for except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
To carry out this view of the true end and aim of Psalmody this work has been com piled. It is not possible by any mechanical contrivance to implant devotional feeling in the heart, but it is possible to excite or stimulate it; and more especially, taking a congre gatien in its collective capacity, each dependent upon another, important assistance may be derived from a contrivance even mechanical in its nature, which is suggestive and explanatory in its design. Singing with the spirit must come from within, but sing ing with the understanding also may be aided from without.

The Book of Psalms (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive collection of over 500 psalm melodies with standardized notation. It presents a collaboration between multiple religious leaders and lay people, chiefly in Scotland, brought together by shared concerns for both enhanced quality and greater variety in psalmody performance. It ultimately sought to address the range of difficulties found in devotional singing within church services. In providing a choice of two melodies for each psalm or portion thereof, one Grand and the other Plaintive, the author ensures there is a range of emotional expression available to suit the sentiment of any given piece. The standardization sought provides for greater accessibility to the psalms, allowing for them to be sung by people of varying levels of musical skill or confidence. This approach has ensured that the broader message of the psalms, which addresses all manner of human joys and sorrows, might be more clearly and widely expressed in song. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334183485_0
