Introduction by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. The Propers of the Mass book contains English chant settings for the Entrance and Communion Antiphons given in The Roman Missal, 2010, as well as suggestions for the Offertory Antiphons, following the pattern of the Graduale Romanum,1974. For most antiphons, four levels of settings from complex to very simple are provided, : i. through-composed melismatic; ii. through-composed simple; iii. Gregorian psalm tone; iv. English psalm tone. Optional psalm verses are provided in the Gregorian psalm tone style. Thus this collection provides an option intended to suit the abilities and needs of any choir or cantor. Ordination and nuptial Masses are also included, as well as the Asperges me and Vidi aquam. The Gloria Patri is given in the eight Gregorian tones, solemn and simple.

Using Coverdale's translation of the Psalms from the Book of Common Prayer, the very best of Anglican chant is married to texts that have been used to sing the transcendent glory of God for three thousand years. The Psalms are ruthlessly honest in their portrayal of conflicting human emotions, and many psalters have excised the verses that speak of vengeance, hatred and anger. Acknowledging that these emotions are also part of human experience, the Anglican Psalter retains this material, to be included or omitted as local preference or the occasion dictates. Includes work by renowned composers past and present including Elgar, Parry, Stanford, Stainer, Wesley, Malcolm Archer, David Willcocks, John Barnard, and many more.

ANCIENT MEETS MODERN - In The St. Michael's Psalter, composer and choir director John Cantrell fuses contemporary harmonies with ancient texts. His all-new adventurous musical settings bring the venerable tradition of Anglican chant into the 21st century. Cantrell's unique harmonic language, infused with jazz and other American roots music, heightens the raw emotional effect of the texts, be it joyful or sorrowful, fierce or tender. At last, the immense spiritual range expressed in the Psalms over thousands of years of worship meets its match in musical settings that amplify their impact. For the world of Anglican chant, The St. Michael's Psalter is an unprecedented compositional achievement and sure to be an enduring choral resource.
