Genevan Psalter Lectionary
Rev. George Van Popta of the Canadian American Reformed Church recently brought to light the Genevan Psalm Lectionary (in French) in his posting “Singing Through The Psalter”
He notes:
After the Genevan Psalter was complete, in 1562, the Geneva Church would sing through the whole Psalter twice per year during its three weekly services.
It is interesting to note that not all the songs had to “fit” homiletically according to the text or topic of the sermon; there were other considerations. Here the very large consideration was that the Psalter be sung through
regularly.Notice also that whole Psalms were sung through except, of course, the very long Psalms.
