St. Ambrose Responsoral Psalms
The St. Ambrose Responsoral Psalms is a project aimed at reviving the organum style of singing liturgical music for the modern church. These contain simple melodies written for two voices (with optional organ accompaniment) and are written in the old church modes as such music in this style would be heard in many centuries ago.
Each response is written in a way that imitates the natural rhythm of the spoken word. The response melodies are predominantly syllabic (one note per syllable) whereas they are more neumatic (multiple notes per syllable) for major feasts and solemnities
The main goals of this project is to provide music that hearkens to the ancient beginnings of harmony the Church used as well as provide a means of not needing to have an accompanist to sing with using only English texts.
These are free to use publically or privately as long as no alterations, arrangements, or re-transcriptions are made without permission and the copyright notice stays on each page. If you find these useful for your liturgical purposes, please consider making a donation.
