Page 6 - Psalm Songs

In the songs with refrains the response or refrain is indicated by a title and the words are in italics.The refrain is usually sung first by a cantor or by the choir and then repeated by the congregation who then sing the refrain after each verse. In most cases, it should be clear how this is intended to work but occasionally we have made it more explicit. The verses can be sung by a soloist, group of singers, or the whole choir.
• Refrain: sung by a cantor or choir and repeated by the congregation.
• Verses: sung by a cantor, singing group or choir.
• Refrain: sung by all.

Many of these settings provide opportunities for adding harmonies and descants once the congregation is fully confident with the refrain.These should enhance and not dominate the refrain, so allocate some singers to the melody to support the congregation.

These settings have been tried and tested in parish situations and are very useful in uniting singers and musicians from different singing groups.
Some settings are quite prescriptive in including dynamics and performance instructions. Others do not have any guidance. Feel free to add dynamics and expression to fully communicate the mood and meaning of the text.
