O
Sing Joyfully
The
recording features a number of psalms in whole or in part as they are
sung in the worship services of the Canadian
Reformed Churches. "Reformed Churches have always attached great value
to the Psalter as a collection of
songs of God's covenant. Their first complete Psalter was published
in Geneva in 1562
....
The Genevan Psalter has
been associated with the Churches of the Reformation ever since. When
members of the Reformed Churches in the
Netherlands (Liberated) came to North America after the Second World
War and established the Canadian Reformed
Churches, they brought with them their appreciation of the Genevan Psalter
....
In 1972 the first complete Book
of Praise: Anglo-Genevan Psalter appeared, and English metrical versions
of all the Psalms could be sung for the
firsttime to the authentic Genevan melodies of the sixteenth century."
- Preface, Book of Praise of the Canadian Reformed
Churches.
Probably the earliest composer to provide four part harmony settings
forthe complete Psalter was Claude Goudimel (1507-1572), a contemporary
and countryman of John Calvin. Most of the Genevan tunes on this recording
are sung to the Goudimel arrangements. However, arrangements by R. Vaughan
Williams, Zoltan Kodaly, and from the Nieuw Utrecht Psalter are also
included.
Texts from the Book of Praise used with permission of the Standing Committee
for the publication of the Book of Praise. Permission to use the remaining
music has been obtained from the CMRRA.
This regional choir draws its membership from ail over southern Ontario
