Responsorial psalms

You're giving me some great recommendations, guys. I could now do with some tips on decent modern settings of responsorial psalms for organ, cantor and congregation, preferably avoiding anything out of the Kevin Mayhew publishing house, (the rather stale Psalms for Sunday, etc). I've found the Laudate hymnal quite useful, but it's dozens short of a full 150!

You've been spot on with other suggetions - many thanks

Robert

I'm not really into responsorial psalms, and perhaps the Gelineau arrangements are a bit out of date. So perhaps I could fly the flag for a wonderful Melbourne composer, Christopher Willcock. These two links should help:

I can also recommend the psalm settings by Geoffrey Cox, the Director of Music at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne. My church has been using them for years and Geoffrey is now preparing them for publication. A few examples have already been published in Together in Song, Australia's ecumenical hymnal.

Geoffrey's contact details are here:
