The Genevan Psalter is a collection with melodies for the psalm for Reformed or Calvinistic Christians. Originally with french text, but translated in many languages, like Dutch.

In my primary school time, I had to learn every week a new psalm by heart.

Greetings on this 504th anniversary of Protestan Reformation. Thanks for producing an sharing this beautiful music. Big hug from Mexico
This is so beautiful that my eyes teared up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music.
Came here from Redeemed Zoomer 🤍
Sameeee
These instrumental arrangements are absolutely inspiring, gentle, and dignified. I grew up with these beloved old tunes in South Africa via the Afrikaans Dutch Reformed Church. Wonderful music!
Hi, het jy enige voorbeelde van liedere in die vorm? Ek is op soek na n paar Psalters in afriaans of engles, maar dit moet orrel of ander klassieke instrumente wees
Боже, как же прекрасно!!! Спасибо!
You see how everyone benefited from the Reformation .
Vey lovely sounding psalm! A thing that I like in renaissance is that they have a lot of nice syncopations,and there are a lot in one psalm too! I played this sunday at church but people didn't know it so they barely sang :(.
This music brings eternal joy in the heart
Soli Deo Gloria
I GOT PEACE OF MIND BY LISTENING THIS HYMN. THANK YOU FOR DOWNLOADING
what we lost nowadays...
Beautifull played. Thanks for posting. Wat zijn die psalmmelodieën toch een grote schat. Die in Nederland op allerlei manieren worden gezongen, dat is uniek in Europa.
Psalm 1 inspired the beautiful "Nun danket alle Gott" in Bach BWV79 and Mendelssohn's symphony n°2 ... but do you know its title in the French adaptation nowadays ?
@@MyYearsWithEarlyMusic Thank you for your kind answer anyway :)
Psalm 1
1. Wohl dem, der sich an Gottes Weisung hält
und nicht an Menschen, denen es gefällt,
sich spöttisch gegen Gott zu überheben
und eigenmächtig nur sich selbst zu leben.
Wohl dem, der sich in Gottes Wort versenkt,
es liebgewinnt und Tag und Nacht bedenkt.
2. Für den sorgt Gott, daß es ihm wohlergeht
wie einem Baum, der nah am Wasser steht.
Er welkt nicht, frisch und grün sind seine Blätter,
und festgewurzelt trotz er Wind und Wetter.
Gesegnet wie ein Baum, der Früchte bringt,
ist solch ein Mensch, und was er tut, gelingt.
Matthias Jorissen
Tobias Javert gracias
Correct, the German Reformed churches sang the Genevan Psalms since about 1580.
Suave melodia...
We sing this Psalm at least 4 times a year...much faster pace.
Good going, Uri! This is one of the more obscure Genevans.
It would be of tremendous help if these instrumentals could be at hand for those churches that don't know how to sing the psalms. I am a Reformed Baptist and I believe this must be sing, and I would like to introduce the Geneva Psalter to my church.
There are since they are on UA-cam, no? You could also use Michael Owens voice recordings on www.genevanpsalter.com based on the Canadian Reformed lyrics.
Premier Printing Ltd. of Winnipeg Manitoba in Canada prints the Book of Praise (Anglo Genevan Psalter) used by the Canadian Reformed Churches. It includes the 150 Psalms set to the Genevan tunes (with simple sheet music). You might be able to get copies through them.
Dear Mr.Ernst!Quando virá ao Brasil (São Paulo) p/formar um ensemble?Que está esperando?
Foote writes in Three Centuries Of American Hymnody (Harvard Press 1940) about the tune Old Hundreth (known to most as the doxology tune) that it was given shape by Louis Bourgeois, although the first line is taken from a secular chanson. When it was taken over in the English Psalter the notation of the last line was slightly altered from the Genevan form. It immediately became popular and our forefathers liked it because it was a jocound and lively air! We think of it as solemn and stately, rather than as lively, because we are familiar with the form in which it emerged in the 18th century usage. When sung, however, in the early form and in fairly quick time it reveals the almost gay character which made it a fitting setting for the words It was the vigor and liveliness of a number of these Genevan Psalm tunes that led critics to dub them Geneva jigs. To a writer of a century ago it seemed strange, indeed, that the very tunes that send us to sleep caused our forefathers to dance. But he was unaware that between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 19th century the Psalm tunes were deliberately lengthened out by giving their notes equal length, and singing was slowed down in the supposed interest of solemnity. (pg. 15)
(From RUF Hymnbook Online Hymn Resource )
The melody known as "Old 100th" was in fact made for Psalm 134 and not for Psalm 100. The original melody for Psalm 100 was first made for Psalm 131 in 1551 and then duplicated for Psalms 100 and 142 when the Psalter was completed in 1562. The former versification of Psalm 142 (by Jean Calvin) was dropped at that time - (1) because Calvin agreed that Beza's rhyming was better, and (2) because the S.M. (Short meter or 6.6.8.6) did not fit. In England, that "Old 142nd" became known as "St. Michael" and is therefore a recycled Genevan melody!
Genevran Psalter !!!
"En adresse l' Eglise." (JEAN CAUVIN - (John Calvin))
We sang these in the 80's in a PCA church in Woodstock, GA, but since they were referred to as Geneva jigs, we sped the tempo up about double.
They are a lot easier to sing in a congregation at a lively tempo, which I understand, was the way they did it in Geneva.
Psalm 1 vers 1 en 2 - Welzalig hij, die in der bozen raad this is the text and music of this psalm sung in rythmic by the Psalm songbook of 1773 of the Dutch Reformed Church, posted by Psalmen UA-cam, a dutch psalm project on youtube.
Try singing it at Ernst's tempo. You will be better able to think about what you actually sing then when singing it slowly instead of fast.
Love it! "His leaves also shall not wither".
@ernststolz Please post more when possible. Thanks for your labors.
Excellent
After several decades having the luck to sing the best choral choral music of the Anglican & old Catholic church, I hear these great settings. I knew there had to be such a large number of period Psalter settings. Will make my old Calvinist ancestors happy, if they were alive. Too bad few, if any American churches of the Calvinist line perform them. Too much Rutter and soft pop music has infected their choral tradition.
In the Netherlands the Genevan psalter are still alive and kicking in the Reformed churches
We do at the American Reformed churches!
@@lauraburger8389, the Canadian Reformed Churches use all these 124 melodies for 150 psalms. Not all of them are strictly "Genevan", some of them (like this Psalm 1) originate in 1539 in Strasbourg and were only used in Geneva in 1551. Jean Calvin took the custom of psalm singing back with him to Geneva; he had been an exile in Strasbourg. Moreover, some of the 124 Netherlands versions are not exactly the same as the Genevan originals, because in a very few melodies, some single syllables were chopped off.
Experts like D.W.L. Milo (1946) suggested that the original sung tempo in the sixteenth century (in French, Netherlands and Hungarian) was much faster, and this has recently been the practice inn most reformed churches, also in Afrikaans and English (and the original French in Quebec!) It was "poor rhyming and prosody" by Datheen that initially caused slow singing in the Netherlands; by the time a better rhyming was adopted in 1773, people had become too used to change from singing them in "chorale style". I grew up singing all 150 psalms, and we still do at home - starting back at the beginning when we have sung the last, in the rhyming by Totius (1930's) but also have the Netherlands rhyming of 1949. Reformed bible printers had the psalms behind the New Testament, so everybody only needed to take one book to church..
Mooi! great video and music for the heart&soul!
Here is the link I forgot to put in on my comment. Psalms ~ 40 Weeks of Psalms is what it is called it will not let me put the link it
Ernst, One of your moving videos and music and ideas. The great old music and ideas still live. Thank you.
een prachtig project over een rijke cultuurschat, en dat zonder poeha. Alleen jammer dat - althans op mijn apparatuur - het samenspel in sommige zettingen, met name strijkinstrument en (mooi geblazen) fluit - soms vals overkomt. Grote waardering vanuit mijn ex-roomse hoek! (met dank aan Gerard van der Leeuw, Frits Mehrtens... en Jan Boeke)
Ernst,"wat mooi",(Duch)so beautiful..
The first Psalm I lurnt on the basic scool...age 60 ago
I would like to put these on my Psalms facebook group. Here is the link for you to look at, if you don't want me to please let me know. Thanks.
Very beautiful music. I'd like to have CDs of this music.
Very beautiful video, congratulations!
This tune is rather similar to "Innsbruck, I Must Leave You" , or at least to me.
Now this is simply beautiful -- absolutely sublime.... Thank you, Dr. Stolz...
@Apologus1 I have tried to put the link in and it will not post it, but if you type copy Psalms ~ 40 Weeks of Psalms and paste it in the search box on FB it should come up and you can join. We are just finishing week 2 today so we are not too far into it. I post six to twelve verses a day and a song. Please stop by and check it out, blessings Kathy
this music reminds me so much of my years of youth growing up in The Netherlands - thank you Ernst
The "Canadian Reformed" and "American Reformed" churches still use the Genevan Psalter. I've got family/friends in the denomination so I'm familiar with them. They take some getting used to coming from the Christian Reformed Psalter Hymnal, They're tuned to a much more maneagable scale so it makes them much easier to sing well, but I still prefer the complexity of the CRC songs.
Check out frankezinga's UA-cam page for some phenomenal Genevan organ w/ singing.
Thanks Ernst, for this beauty! The firts Ps. I'v lurn...!
Denk er nog wel eens aan terug, een andere tijd een ander lied!
Very beautiful!!!
It is really beautiful, but I don't know if it would be appropriate for teaching the psalms or even for personal worship due to the tempo.
감사합니다...
@kmlow222 Where is your Psalm FB page?
Wundervolle Musik und Bilder - eine schöne Morgenandacht. Vielen Dank
Wish it were voices singing it, though this is good, too. I'm not a reform Christian but I've come to appreciate the settings by Goudimel as some of the best of the simple settings of hymn tunes. This is music made for the words, you really can't get the whole effect without the words.
I sang this in late august 2015 in Oldenburg/Germany with Cantus Canum in a radio service.
The german lyrics are so beautiful, everytime I hear this it remind me about my family roots. My grandmother is from an old french calvinistic (huguenotte) family.
MUSIC , PICTURES , FLAMES
Awsome
bijzonder mooi
