Introduction
his collection of plainchant Responsorial Psalm settings in English is intended for Ordinary Form Masses. The texts of these
psalms correspond with those found in the Lectionary for Mass
for the dioceses of the United States of America and provide an accessible, tradition-based option for singing the Responsorial Psalms at
Mass on Sundays and selected solemnities and feasts.
Each of these settings can be led by an unaccompanied schola or
single cantor; members of the congregation should be able to repeat their parts after one or two hearings. All of the verses are fully
pointed and notated to facilitate ease in performance by the cantor or
schola.
Plainchant is text driven. Though modal in form, neither the melodies
nor the mode choices for these settings are based on those of their
corresponding Graduals, which are sometimes considered the predecessors of the Responsorial Psalm. The melodies of these antiphons
are original and were inspired by the abrupt but ultimately delightful
sonority and rhythms of the English language.
The verses are set to the Gregorian Office tone formulas that not
only correspond in terms of mode but also best complement the English idiom. With a few exceptions, I have opted to treat each cycle of
verses with only one mediant and final cadence. This allows the congregation to hear the final cadence only one time per cycle and sends
a clear signal when it is time to repeat the antiphon.
Finally, spending a good deal of time on the reciting tone translates
into fewer interruptions in the flow of the text and, by way of contrast, renewed attention to the antiphon melody.
My hope is that this collection fosters prayer in the minds and hearts
and on the lips of individuals and communities who sing from it
Introduction
and that its foundation in Gregorian structures gives rise to a greater

appreciation of our musical heritage as Catholics in both cognitive
and auditory ways.
Many thanks are due my friends and colleagues in the Church Music
Association of America and beyond who have provided me with a
great deal of encouragement: David Hughes, Paul Weber, Aristotle
Esguerra, Jeffrey Ostrowski, Adam Bartlett, Richard Rice, Ryan Murphy, Wilko Brouwers, William Mahrt, Scott Turkington, Mary Jane
Ballou, and many more. I am also indebted to the Reverend Monsignor William J. Skoneki, the St. Cecilia Schola, and parishioners of
St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Auburn, Alabama, for
helping me to see, week after week, what works and what does not.
Special thanks are also due Jeffrey Tucker, Richard Chonak, Ben Yanke, and Mary Weaver as well as the many donors who have made this
book a reality. As always, I am grateful to my family, and I remain
in humble service to our Lord, to whom all prayers are lifted and for
whom all songs are sung.
