FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Published: A unique
contribution to English Psalmody
Winnipeg, Manitoba,
Canada – February 9th, 2015 - Premier Printing is pleased to
announce the recent publication of New
Genevan Psalter, an English version of John Calvin’s Psalter of 1562. It consists
of the 150 Psalms set to the Genevan tunes long used by Reformed churches
throughout the world. As well it includes four canticles which have always
been associated with the Genevan Psalter, the Ten Commandments and the
Songs of Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon.
The text of the songs is from Book of Praise, 2014, the songbook of the Canadian Reformed
Churches.
This Psalter is a new and contemporary English
version of John Calvin’s French Psalter; however, it is not merely a
translation of the original sixteenth-century French version but a new poetic
rendering of the entire Book of Psalms and of the four canticles. As such it is
both a classic and a contemporary contribution to the Psalmody of the church.
Many churches have several songbooks in their pew racks, and
the New Genevan Psalter would be a wonderful addition. A
congregation that sings the Psalms is rooted in the church of all ages, and a
congregation that sings the Psalms set to the Genevan tunes is embedded in the
church of the Reformation.
