One of today's most accomplished chant scholars presents The Collegeville Chant Psalter , a new responsorial psalm collection for Catholic worship. Fr. Anthony Ruff's compositions faithfully follow the U.S. Lectionary text of the psalms and responses for the complete three-year cycle of Sundays and major feast days. The collection also includes settings of the "Common Texts" responsorial psalms. The music, accompanied or unaccompanied, is accessible and singable with chant-based responses for the assembly, tones from Saint Meinrad Archabbey that are familiar and engaging for the cantor, and stylistically-appropriate and beautifully-simple accompaniments for either organ or keyboard. An important new resource, The Collegeville Chant Psalter answers the church's call to give chant more "pride of place" ( Sacrosanctum concilium 116) in the liturgy, serving well as either a stand-alone parish psalter or as a supplement to other psalters. Those who purchase The Collegeville Chant Psalter may also be interested in Anthony Ruff's earlier publication, Responsorial Psalms for Weekday Mass: Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter (#3261).
