In "Responsorial Psalms for Weekday Mass: Advent, Christmas,
Lent, and Easter, " Father Anthony Ruff, OSB, offers a simple
chanted setting and makes it possible for the responsorial psalm to
be sung at every daily Mass during the seasons of the liturgical
year. These responsorial psalms were conceived for unaccompanied
singing led by a single cantor, but keyboard accompaniments and
'tar chords are provided for those who desire it.
The melodic settings use the eight Gregorian chant modes, as
found in the psalm tones of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Type melodies,
one for each mode, are employed repeatedly for varying antiphon
texts, making it easier for cantor and congregation to pick up the
antiphon melodies. The psalm verses are provided in two
translations, the New American Bible translation of the United
States "Lectionary for Mass" and the Grail translation, as revised
in 1983 for inclusive human language. This unique collection of
psalm music allows us to celebrate the seasons of Advent,
Christmas, Lent, and Easter more fully.
