Metrical Psalms in Print and Practice: English ‘Singing Psalms’ and Scottish ‘Psalm Buiks’
1556-1640
During the Reformation
the Book of Psalms became one of the most well-known books of the Bible. This was particularly true in Britain
where people of all ages
social classes and educational abilities memorized and sang poetic versifications of the psalms. Those written by Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins became the most popular
and the simple tunes developed and used by English and Scottish churches to accompany these texts were carried by soldiers
sailors and colonists throughout the English-speaking world. Among these tunes were a number that are still used today
including ‘Old Hundredth’
‘Martyrs’
and ‘French’.\n\nThis book is the first to consider both English and Scottish metrical psalmody
comparing the two traditions in print and practice. It combines theological literary and musical analysis to reveal new and ground-breaking connections between the psalm texts and their tunes
which it traces in the English and Scottish psalters printed through 1640. Using this new analysis in combination with a more thorough evaluation of extant church records
Duguid contends that Britain developed and maintained two distinct psalm cultures
one in England and the other in Scotland.
Metrical Psalms in Print and Practice: English ‘Singing Psalms’ and Scottish ‘Psalm Buiks’
1556-1640
This article sheds new light on events connected with the English-speaking exile church at Frankfurt from 1554 to 1555 and which have attracted the attention of historians for generations. Some of the notable Reformation personalities became involved in its controversies. In recent times
thirty-five new letters and documents relating to these ‘Troubles’ at Frankfurt were discovered at the Denbighshire Records Office (Wales); they are transcriptions of part of a larger collection of papers traceable to Christopher Goodman
a member of the Frankfurt church. These documents provide further insight into the debate that consumed the mostly English refugees located in cities throughout Continental Europe for nearly two years. This study incorporates these new documents into a revised narrative of the Frankfurt English-speaking exile church that challenges long-held assumptions about the Troubles and opens new avenues for further investigation.
The ‘Troubles’ at Frankfurt: A new chronology
Despite recent interest in the relationship between technology and music research
literary scholars\nhave led the way in the larger
related field of digital humanities. Music scholars have been aware of\nthe transition in literary circles from written and printed media to digital media
but only now are these researchers beginning to consider the issues that digital humanists have long been debating. In particular
music scholars and performers have virtually ignored the issue of peer review for digital resources. This lacuna represents the most significant barrier for the creation and implementation of digital technologies in music research and editing. Without a mechanism by which individuals may\nreceive credit for the hard work that goes into digital resources
most will direct their energies towards gaining peer review via traditional printed publications. This article argues for the creation of a mechanism for peer reviewing digital projects in music
noting the benefits of such a system for performers and researchers of early music.
