3 I wish to thank Abbot John Klassen, OSB, abbot of Saint John s Abbey, for first asking that the responsorial psalm be sung at daily Mass in our monastery. It was his impulse and inspiration that led to the creation of this collection. Thanks also to Br. Aelred Senna, OSB, and Fr. Nicholas Becker, OSB, for their assistance with indexing and psalm verse layout during novitiate work periods.

4 Foreword To the singer and musician: For daily Mass, the U.S. bishops recommend singing the Responsorial Psalm, perhaps in a simple chanted setting ( Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship 116). This collection offers such simple chanted settings 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 as practiced daily at Saint John s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. All that is needed for these settings is one singer with self-confidence and a good sense for pitch and rhythm. But for those who desire it, keyboard accompaniments and guitar chords are also provided. The psalm verses are provided in two translations, the New American Bible translation of the U.S. Lectionary for Mass and the Grail translation as revised in 1983 for inclusive human language. Some may prefer to use the translation of the officially approved lectionary, although one will find that the NAB translation is not well suited for singing in its cadence and accent patterns. It is for this reason that the Grail translation is also provided. According to Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship (158), based on the U.S. General Instruction of the Roman Missal (61), one may use translations other than the NAB of the lectionary when singing the responsorial psalm, and this interpretation has been confirmed by officials of the U.S. Bishops Committee on Divine Worship. These antiphons are text based in every respect, intentionally simple and unornamented. The melodies are only slightly more than inflected speech, with primary scale degrees bringing out the natural accentuation of the text, and infrequent two-note groups highlighting important words or defining syntactical units. The melodic settings are in 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 Saint Meinrad psalm tones are used because they are well suited to the rhythm and accentuation of the English language, which, unlike Latin, frequently has an accent on the final syllable of a line. To the musicians: Practices for singing and accompanying responsorial psalms vary from place to place. The single most important thing for the success of these settings is an agreed-upon plan that is followed with consistency and confidence in order to enable the congregation to join in readily. The antiphon might or might not be played by the instrumentalist before being sung by the cantor; the cantor might intone the antiphon with or without accompaniment; the congregational antiphon might be led more by the cantor or more by the instrumentalist; the accompanist might play the first chord of each line of the psalm tone a bit before the cantor (to give the pitch) or might come in exactly with the cantor; the accompanist might hold the first chord of the antiphon before the congregation comes in or come in exactly with the congregation. Whatever practice is customary in a given community, it should be known by all the musicians and followed consistently. The horizontal line that sometimes appears over a melody note, technically called an episemata, indicates that this syllable is to be held a bit longer. In a few cases, a slur joins two notes of the psalm tone melody. This indicates that both notes are sung to one syllable when that syllable is double underlined. To the singer: Regarding rhythm, the singer should follow the natural accentuation of spoken English. The singer should first recite the text of the antiphon and verses, and then sing with the same rhythm and tempo, neither slowing down nor falling into an unnatural equalism. Each syllable receives the same length and stress when sung as it does when spoken. Regarding melody,

5 the singer should become as familiar as possible with the modal melodies of the eight psalm tones, committing them to memory if possible. Before singing the melody of the antiphon, the singer should first internalize the melody of the psalm tone, since the melody of the antiphon in every case is based upon and grows out of the melody of the psalm tone. To the keyboard player: It is good to vary the volume between antiphon and verses, playing more loudly to stimulate and support the congregation, but playing as quietly as possible for the verses (while still offering necessary support to the cantor) so as to allow the text of the verses to be heard clearly. As much as possible, the accompaniment for the psalm tone should be committed to memory so that one can follow and support the cantor without delay or hesitation. It is advisable to memorize the first chord of the antiphon as well so that the transition from verse to antiphon can be made smoothly. Some organists might wish to help the congregation by soloing out the antiphon melody with a louder registration on a separate manual. Piano players should account for the fact the piano is percussive and does not sustain sounds like the organ. In order to provide continuous support, chords should be repeated more often than is written. For both antiphon and verses, such repetition should occur on accented syllables. Especially on the verses, the reiteration of chords might take the form of gentle arpeggiation. To the guitarist: What is said to the piano player in the preceding paragraph applies also to the guitarist. The guitarist will often need to strum the same chord repeatedly on the antiphon always on primary accented syllables. The chord symbols for the psalm tones account for virtually every chord change of the keyboard setting. Guitarists should feel free to omit some chords and reduce the number of chord changes (provided that the chord played fits the mode), especially if fewer chord changes help one better to follow and support the cantor without hesitation or delay. It is not recommended to use guitar along with keyboard, or to use more than one musician as accompanist, since this might complicate matters and constrain the freedom of the cantor. Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB Saint John s Abbey The Feast of Saint Benedict, July 11, 2008
