Sing a New Song: The Psalms in Medieval Art and Life

I would love to see this exhibit at The Morgan Library & Museum: Sing a New Song: The Psalms in Medieval Art and Life. Here is a description of the exhibit:

Sing a New Song traces the impact of the Psalms on men and women in medieval Europe from the sixth to the sixteenth century. It encompasses daily practices and performance, as well as the creation of Psalters (Books of Psalms), among the most richly ornamented manuscripts ever made. Stressing the integration of the Psalms in medieval life, topics range from children saying their prayers to people preparing to die.

The Morgan Library & Museum is located in midtown Manhattan in New York City. The exhibit runs from 12 September 2025 until 4 January 2026.

Psalm Singing and the Genevan Psalter

I would love to have been present at this wonderful presentation by Prof. Karin Maag at Calvin University: Psalm Singing and the Genevan Psalter. Maag was one of my principal hosts when I lectured at Calvin on the same subject three years ago. She is author of Worshiping with the Reformers, which I reviewed last year.
