Grounded in the liturgical tradition and scholarship, the author
explores what he calls the "new traditionalism" that notes the
recent resurgence of interest in ancient forms of liturgy and
spiritual practice. Everett communicates the seriousness with which
he approaches his subject by offering a brief history of psalms and
an exegesis of selected psalm texts. As a composer, he speaks
clearly about the process of capturing the essence of each psalm in
the brief, but beautiful antiphons that accompany them. The psalter
itself consists of musically notated antiphon melodies with chord
symbols followed by the printed psalm textwhich is read aloud...
Many alternative and emerging church communities have begun
exploring ancient music and liturgical traditions despite a lack of
high-quality, published liturgical music, which does not require
(or even desire) an organ and a four- part choir. The Emergent
Psalter serves to provide that resource. Featuring music written
for two emerging communities (Transmission in New York and Church
of the Apostles in Seattle), this book is an excellent resource for
anyone producing alternative worship service or thinking of
starting one."
