Responsorial Psalms and Canticles for UK and Ireland Lectionary

by Kate Keefe

Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you

What is available

Here are my Settings of the Psalms, Responses and Canticles from the Lectionary for use in Catholic churches in the UK, Ireland and places that use similar lectionaries. If you need a Psalm that we have not yet posted, please contact us - we may be able to help. We also have settings of the Gospel Acclamations

A lot goes in to setting a psalm. For example, what makes a good psalm response? Or what comes first, rhythm or melody? And where does the Psalmist's confidence come from? You can read about many other fascinating questions on Kate's blog about the Psalms or see what Kate writes about this week's music.

You can also explore our music for the UK and Ireland. And we have settings for Australian and New Zealand, United States and Philippines and Canadian congregations.
