The Paragraph Psalter: Arranged for the Use of Choirs
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In the Paragraph Psalter, Brooke Foss Westcott arranges the Psalms for public worship, compiling this Psalter in order that the “chanting of the Psalms may contribute in the highest degree to the edifying of the choir and of the congregation.” The arrangement found in this volume was made and tested during Westcott’s time serving at Peterborough, and is designed to “exhibit the general structure of the Psalms in such a manner as to suggest the variety of musical treatment which is required in different Psalms and in different parts of the Psalms for their true interpretation.”
