Last week I
wrote of my intention to author a book on the Psalms, complete with fresh, non-Genevan versifications and melodies. Although for the most part I will not be posting these new ones here, I have decided to include a sample of what I am provisionally calling The Next Psalter. This is the universally beloved
Psalm 23, for which I wrote a common-metre versification four years ago. I had originally set it to the tune,
DUNFERMLINE from the 1650 Scottish Psalter. Now I have come up with a new tune,
GATEVIEW, with a quite different feel. A pdf copy of the score can be found
here.
