Pretty excited. I bought some Metrical Psalters today at: Trinitarian Bible Society - The Word of God Among All Nations
Great price (check under other Publications). They also print it in the back of some of the Bibles they sell if you want to buy it "all in one".
Anyhow, my family sings the Psalms every night and, with small children that cannot read, we move pretty slowly as the kids memorize the songs. It's kind of nice to have kids who desire to sing the Psalms at night before bed.
Anyhow, I got to one of the new Psalms and realized how complicated the tune was and remembered a discusion here about how the 1650 Psalter is written in common meter.
I was even more excited to find a bunch of 1650 Psalter resources here: Psalm Singing - Metrical Psalters and Tunes to Sing Psalms
And especially happy that this has a ton of Common Meter and Common Meter Double tunes are available here: Psalms in Metre for Christian Worship
I know this might be no news for many here, and I'm sure this is all posted here but I wanted to share my personal excitement because Sonya and I love singing these songs with the kids and this will facilitate the desire that our kids memorize the Psalms.
