A New Metrical Psalter by Christopher L. Webber - April 1st, 1986

This book is in very good condition. There is little to no wear on the cover and spine the corners have not been bumped. The pages are crisp, white and clean of any markings.

"The increasing use of the Psalter in the liturgy makes it desirable that there be musical settings which can be easily used by any congregation. Anglican chant, plainsong, and the Gelineau method all require an attention to phrasing which is quite different from the set relationship between words and music of the usual hymn or secular song. The metrical method, on the other hand, fits the psalms to simple and, in most cases, familiar melodies. Most metrical psalms can be easily sung the first time they are presented...." - Author's Introduction from A New Metrical Psalter
