ABOUT THIS ITEM
Our Hardcover St. Dunstan’s Plainsong Psalter is the culmination of three full years of research, compilation, and proofreading. It is the first traditional English plainchant publication to be in print for many decades. Moreover, it is the first publication of its kind to include all elements necessary for the recitation of the Daily Offices of the classic Book of Common Prayer according to the ancient Gregorian chant tradition. Saint Dunstan’s Plainsong Psalter was produced jointly by Western Rite Orthodox and traditional Anglican scholars and editors, and it is also of interest to Roman Catholics (especially of the “Anglican Use”) as well as by Protestants who appreciate the classic English biblical texts and the plainchant tradition. The Psalter is a high quality hardcover book of over 500 pages.
We also offer the Psalter in a durable flex-cover format.
Luis (Guest) –
I think this is a great Psalter because it contains God’s word in the Psalter, the Canticles of Holy Scripture, and includes the prayer services of Matins, Vespers, and Compline. Instructions for learning how to sing and read plainchant, as well as rubrics and commentaries on the prayer services of Matins, Vespers and Compline according to the prayer book tradition are provided and with experience and God’s help may be useful. St. Dunstan sang and prayed the Psalter like the Holy Prophet and King David and it is good to see the exalter named after Him.
