We will pick this up for review and possible use. We will advise. We are unsure if this contains musical scores for the Psalms.
The product description indicates 71 pages, so we are not optimistic. However, it may have the Canticles and a fair number of Psalms. Time will tell. The product description follows these lines:
"The purpose of this book has been to gather into a single volume those Anglican chants - until now dispersed among many different collections - that are considered by expert opinion to be both worthy compositions in themselves and suitable for general use in parish churches. Almost every chant book in existence has been examined, and many hundreds of different chants have been considered, the inclusion or rejection of each one depending upon the opinion of the majority of a board containing a large number of Church musicians, both professional and amateur."
We continue to recommend the Psalter-set of chants from St. Paul's, London. While we do not have the musical score, we are learning the set by repeated use since 24 Jun 2010. Of course, this set follows the classical Anglican Prayer Book, the 1662--not that awful thing Americans use, the 1979 BCP (shameless). We are pleased with this Psalter-set.
