Singable Settings of Music for Mass - Psalms and Acclamations
by Kate Keefe
Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you
Look no further for singable settings of the Mass, Responsorial Psalms and Responses, Alleluias and Lent Gospel Acclamations week by week round the Three Year Cycle of the Catholic Lectionary.
Read about Psalm 17 and the stress of saying I love you.
Finding the music you are looking for
We have music for UK and Ireland, United States and Philippines, Australia and New Zealand and Canadian Catholic congregations all over the world. We are glad to hear that congregations in other traditions also find the music useful. We also have all the Psalms for weddings from the Lectionaries for the UK and the United States. Everything is available for free download in pdf format to support singing the Mass in your church, and you can hear an electronic approximation as well - we don't have recordings, because this is music for for you to perform and bring alive. If you are looking for a particular psalm or acclamation, you can use the lists below to find it.
