Over the next couple of weeks we will be launching two new RSCM Publications.

The RSCM Book of Psalm Songs: 70 psalm settings for the liturgical year

Selected and edited by David Ogden and Alan Smith

A collection of 70 tried and tested settings of 50 psalms and canticles to enrich worship across the denominations. With their combination of the ancient texts and contemporary stylish lyricism, psalm songs bridge the gap between traditional anthems and worship songs, and between choirs and instrumental groups. Suitable for any kind of liturgy or service by soloists, choirs, singing groups and congregations, these settings are in a variety of styles and many have optional harmony and descants. There is a special focus on psalms for seasons of the year and for themes and occasions. Composers include Teresa Brown, Bernadette Farrell, Marty Haugen, Philip Moore, David Ogden, Alan Smith, Christopher Walker and Paul Wellicome.

30 Hymn Meditations

Gordon Giles

Canon Gordon Giles says, ‘A hymn is like a friend. We have friends with whom we have grown up since childhood, those we make on the journey of life, and, hopefully, we also like to make new friends. Therefore, it’s only natural to want to know something of a hymn’s story, who wrote it and why, who the composer is and what prompted them to write the tune, and who or what for. The stories behind the tunes are as interesting and as exciting as those behind the words, for they are all human stories.’

In this selection of ancient and modern hymns, Gordon Giles opens up the history and spiritual story of 30 of the most popular and much-loved hymns to offer an engaging and fascinating read. This will make an excellent Christmas gift.
