Change the pace at which you sing. Sing verses 1-21 slowly and solemnly and when you get to verse 22, change the speed you sing to something quicker, without changing the tune. It can really fit a change in mood.Tempo change? What does that mean?
Which tune tbough? I don't think that'd work well with bangor.Change the pace at which you sing. Sing verses 1-21 slowly and solemnly and when you get to verse 22, change the speed you sing to something quicker, without changing the tune. It can really fit a change in mood.

Are you using the 1650 for this? If it were me I would use the tune from How Sweet And Aweful Is The Place. I don't know the tune name. But it's a great tune that works fast and slow.Are there any good common meter tunes that fit Psalm 22:21-27? Preferably something that is somber enough for the part preceding but joyous enough for the part following.
Yes. I got a copy of the John Brown Psalter from Grange Press (the publisher of the Presbytery of the United States in the FCC).Are you using the 1650 for this?

Naomi, Sheffield, Old 22nd, Praetorious to name a few of the recommended ones. Check them out online to see if you like any of them.Are there any good common meter tunes that fit Psalm 22:21-27?

The FCC split-leaf has the following divisions and tune recommendations. Might be a good starting place.Where would you divide psalm 89 in two or three bits, and what tune would you use?
Preferrably divided so I repeat the last verse of one bit when beginning the next one
Finally I know who is behind it! I really enjoy them and would love to see more. Do you just take them from the staff notation books?I have a YouTube page called Play it again, Psalm where I post videos of Psalmody tunes and their harmonies. It shows each of the parts individually for those that want to learn any of the parts by ear.
That's encouraging to hear. I use the staff from the newest editions of the Scottish Psalter and Sing Psalms. Older editions can have some major differences. I've been meaning to add some more to the channel so if anybody has any requests then let me know.Finally I know who is behind it! I really enjoy them and would love to see more.

I see, I was wondering if you just copied them or if you edited them at all. If you're doing that, you must be musical – I was wondering if there are descant lines and asked an FC(C) friend about it, but she only had some from old hymn books. My voice is very high and I can usually only sing loudly with the pitch range of the melody and higher, but I'd love to create a harmony on tunes for which my church doesn't harmonise. I've tried to work out my own, but I'm just not good enough at harmonies. The advice I've received so far has been to sing the tenor at a higher octave, but if you have any resources that would be much appreciated. I also wonder if there are parts for new/uncommon tunes you have come across like Zenka, but if you are not from FP I don't think others sing them very much (though probably have your own). I suppose we'll just have to make our own somehow!That's encouraging to hear. I use the staff from the newest editions of the Scottish Psalter and Sing Psalms.

Paisley (CM)What lesser-known tunes do you like to sing?
Kingsfold is goodFor CM/CMD tunes, I've been enjoying these from the RPCNA/ARP Psalter. Not sure if they count as lesser known.
Alexandria CM (95a in RPCNA Psalter)
Meditation CM (13a in RPCNA)
Kingsfold CMD (26a RPCNA)
Noel CMD (21A RPCNA)
Definitely not lesser known but great onesPaisley (CM)
Bays of Harris (CM)
Free Church (CM)
I'm basically allergic to Crimond (sorry, not sorry), so for Psalm 23 I like Bays of Harris instead.What lesser-known tunes do you like to sing?
great tunes indeed! Suppose its how to quanitify ‘lesser known’. Neither Paisley or Bays are mentioned in the blue Scottish Psalmody 1650 Psalter Think Free Church may be..Kingsfold is good
Definitely not lesser known but great ones
