PDF of Psalter here:

You can hear the whole psalter recorded here (in progress): www.bernardbreviary.com/chant...
The Psalter (with many, many corrections compared to ^this file) is available in April 2024 as part of the St. Bernard Breviary. Check out www.bernardbreviary.com
I have so enjoyed adding in this to my Daily Offices. I love that the tones stay the same across the day's psalm readings. I can't wait to get my hardcopy of this as soon as it's released! A dream to have the office, psalter, and readings all in one volume! Blessings to you!
Thanks for the encouragement! That dream will, God willing, be realized in the spring!
Spring has arrived here. Is this psalter/office available yet?
Just joined the choir at my church and got St Dunstan's Plainsong Psalter. Thank you for this!!
Thank you for this! What a wonderful way of singing the songs that Jesus sang! It amazes me that more Christians aren't enthusiastic about singing the songs Jesus sang. The book of Psalms was the "hymn book" that Jesus sang when He went to synagogue every week. He very likely would have committed the entire psalter to memory (as most faithful Jews would have done in the first century). For the "difficult" psalms (the ones that don't 'cheer us up'), I often encourage our congregation to "look over the shoulder of Jesus" and meditate on how these psalms prepared Him for the most difficult experiences of His life and got Him though the Garden of Gethsemane, the unjust trials and the Cross. This, in turn, then prepares us to overcome through the trials of our own life.
In our church we sing metrical psalms (translated into rhyming meter and sung to traditional hymn tunes), but I'll freely admit that plainsong chanting is much closer to the way that Jesus sang them.
Thanks again for removing some of the mystery from the plainsong chants. I know those bold and italics meant something... but what? And now I know!
Amen and amen! Love those thoughts. And thanks for the encouragement! Glad the video helped!
This is the pearl of great price! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this! Very interesting.
I should review your new Breviary on Monday 4/15/24. I hope to learn how to chant
My priest just gave me this psalter!
Thank you! But, can you somehow make the original video available again too? I found your talk to be inspirational and have listened several times while learning the chants this month. :)
Dangit -- I deleted it already. So sorry.
@@benjefferies8531 Well, it was really good and I thank you for that.
Love this. Is this something normally done for services or during one's daily scripture reading?
Both! Once the ability to do it has been acquired -- it is a great enrichment to the private praying of the psalms (I basically always use it -- except when I have lost my voice!) -- and it can also be used in public liturgies at Church (just ask your priest and say you'd like to!)
This is great. My hard copy of Saint Bernard Breviary is on the way. Question as I am so new at this: How do you know what the notes are?
Check out: www.bernardbreviary.com/chant-helps for a step by step answer to that question :)
Thanks,This is a great resource for us beginners.I have received my Breviary and am chanting along using the tone samples and daily prayer recordings.
God Bless!
@@chainlobster7479 Fantastic! Thanks be to God! May he bless your prayers.
I received the new St. Bernard Breviary. Would you consider doiny the entire Psalm in it's Plainsong Chant so we can follow along ?
Yup! If you go to the “chant helps” page on www.bernardbreviary.com and scroll down - you will see a list of all the months’ psalms with full audio recordings!
Hey Ben, just wanted to ask a quick question. On the PDF for the psalter, Day 20 Evening prayer, or psalm 104, doesn't have a tone listed, would you use the morning prayer tone or none or what. Thanks
Yes that was a layout error on my part. It has been fixed in the final form of the Bernard Psalter. Which, I am happy to announce, will be for sale as part of the Bernard Breviary on Anglican House, available Spring 2024!
@@benjefferies8531 ok perfect thanks for the reply, do you happen to know off-hand which tone would be used.
Definitely looking forward to picking up a physical copy, thanks for all your great work
Thanks! Yes -- Ps. 104 was type-set to go with Tone VII.7 -- that's what was accidentally left out@@tarahrahboom6457
@@benjefferies8531 Thank you and God bless
Is there a similar resource for the canticles?
Not yet publically, but the forthcoming St. Bernard Breviary will include this Psalter, and single-voice *Anglican Chant* pointing and music for all the Canticles. Once the Breviary is finished, it will be supplemented with a bevy of youtube tutorials :)
@@benjefferies8531 Great! Will a traditional language version be explored in the future?
The Traditional Language standard canticles (Venite, Mag, Ben, Nunc) will be included. But there isn't a need to develop a Trad Lang Breviary in its entirety - because that already exists: The St. Dunstan's Psalter @@jl63023
Thank you, my main reason for asking was that this is the first Office resource recently published to my knowledge that is in modern notation rather than Gregorian notation, and I personally struggle more reading gregorian notation than the modern (probably due to familiarity with the latter since I'm a church musician). While I'm aware of St Dunstan's, this will greatly reduce the barrier for entry to many just by being in modern notation so one wouldn't have to learn a new system just to chant
I may embark on a personal project for myself inspired by the St. Bernard Breviary but I am still excited about its release and may purchase just for its value despite being for the ACNA BCP @benjefferies8531
Rewatching, not doing great singing these turns out
It takes a while to feel comfortable!
I have found it takes about a total of 3 hours before it feels “easy”
