RETS Vol. 37. The Whole Book of Psalms, first published in a
complete form in 1562, introduced congregational singing to England
and contained the best known English verse in the early modern
period. Often referred to by later critics as “Sternhold and
Hopkins,” it was the dominant hymnal in England until the
mid-eighteenth century and printed until 1861. This critical
edition, the first to include both texts and tunes, is based on the
148 English impressions remaining from the reign of Elizabeth I
along with their Marian predecessors. The appendices include
miniature critical editions of the psalm paraphrases as published
during Edward’s reign, additional texts included in some
editions, later musical revisions, and the short tunes that began
to replace the printed ones by the late sixteenth century. Although
this is a scholarly edition with complete critical apparatus, it is
also designed to make this crucial piece of early modern culture
accessible to non-specialists. The texts are in modern spelling and
the tunes in modern notation. The edition offers an extensive
historical essay and notes on each text and tune, and is furnished
with an audio supplement of representative musical settings.
