Editor: Martin Quartier
[e-mail] From the actual editor

It ‘s been quite a while since I stumbled upon the internet version of “The Whole Booke
of Psalms”, which I found on the site www.pbm.com/~lindahl/ravenscroft/psalter/ of Greg
Lindahl. Browsing through it, I fell upon a particular score (“The Lord’s Prayer” by G.
Kirbye), marked ‘1. Dutch tune’. Being a ‘Dutchman’ myself (actually Flemish, but one
must very well consider that Flanders, in those days, was much more stretched out as it is
nowadays, but it was Flanders that had – in the train of the Empire of Charles V – a major
cultural influence on the rest of Europe, with Bruges and Ghent as cultural metropoles), I
was especially intrigued by it and took a closer look, only to find out I knew the tune
indeed, although in another setting. So I went on to transcribe the whole score in 4 parts,
and I liked it very much. Once the work was done, I decided to give it a try to post it on the
site of Christian Mondrup (http://icking-music-archive.org), who had already ‘re-mastered’
some scores of The Whole Booke of Psalmes. If he was pleased by it, could not be made up
from his reaction: a lot of remarks, corrections, reproofs and others. After several mails to
and fro, suddenly ‘my’ score was on the site. The rest is (a) history (of over 2 years), and
now we can present you a complete version of The Whole Booke of Psalmes, completely
checked and revised by Christian Mondrup, Danish musicologist, transcribed into modern
music notation.
Of course we owe many thanks to Christian Mondrup for his immensely patient guidance
in the harmonic revision of the scores and his endeavour to explain to me the what’s and
the why’s, and to Greg Lindahl for his crucial hints in times of impasses. I (try no to) pride
myself that this book – meant as it is to be sung - would disappear into oblivion without
their indispensable contribution. It is up to you to judge if the result is worth our
considerable efforts.
Because every transcription implies some compromises and we want to be very clear on
them, here are some prefatory remarks.
1. The Titles
In the original The Whole Booke of Psalmes, the psalm numbers and possibly the Latin
names of the scores are used as titles, which is quite logical. On the other hand, these give
little or no idea of the content or the meaning of the piece. We did therefore choose to use
the first line as the title, and to ‘degrade’ the original title into the subtitle. To cure the
possible inconvenience of this decision, a new index, by alphabetical order, has been
added, and all (new) indexes do mention both titles and subtitles. The order of succession
of the original book has been maintained, except for a few psalms, where we had to keep
the score- and the text page together and wanted to avoid blank pages anyway.
2. The Clefs
The original keys are very meticulously repeated in the incipit of each score, although the
form of the old Ut-clefs is not available in the computer aided music notation program we
used.
In some other similar revisions, these clefs are considered as guidelines to appoint a part
to a certain voice part. We would not go that far. It is quite remarkable though, that the
ambitus of the different parts is not very wide, and the Cantus part fits very well into the
voice range of our actual Soprano, the Medius in the one of our actual Alto, and so on. That
only confirms very well the purpose of the original book, as stated on the title page, to be
sung “usually in England,…”, i.e. meant for common practice by (our?) usual, non-
professional parish choirs. That is the reason why we kept the indication of the abbreviated
I voice parts S(oprano), A(lto), T(enor) and B(ass), although these are not to be considered
obligatory.
3. The Tunes and their authors
Most of the scores also have a ‘tune-name’, mostly the name of a town, a region, or other.
Such tune-names are quite common in the English church music: the English have a whole
system of psalm texts ‘in metre’ (a kind of counted syllables) on the one hand, and an
abundance of tunes on the other hand, which they can fit together as they like. Probably
since the edition of the Psalter of Thomas Este (1592), they started to give these tunes
names, to make the puzzle easier. And since – even within the reach of this book - we find
the same tune, arranged by different composers, we must assume that these tunes – at least
the named ones – are not written by the composer involved; only the setting is. The
unnamed tunes may very well be the work of the composer as a whole.
Moreover, some settings are used for more than one psalm or score. You can find these
similarities in the ‘index by tune name…’. Where two scores have the same tune name ánd
composer, chance is great that the setting is similar, if not identical. Where two scores have
the same tune name, but a different composer, then in most cases only the main tune (in the
Tenor part) is the same.
4. Bar lines
thOther transcriptions (especially the ones from the early 19 century) ‘re-organise’ very
often the original scores into an actual metric
