"Isaac Everett's Emergent Psalter is clearly a work of love. Springing from the life of a young, emergent congregation, it embodies the best of old and new, and it is a sign of maturity in our important movement."—Tony Jones, author of The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent FrontierMany alternative and emerging church communities have begun exploring ancient music and liturgical traditions despite a lack of highquality, published liturgical music, which does not require (or even desire) an organ and a fourpart choir. The Emergent Psalter serves as a valuable resource. The psalter itself consists of musically notated antiphon melodies with chord symbols, followed by the printed psalm text, which is read aloud.Featuring music written for two emerging communities (Transmission in New York and Church of the Apostles in Seattle), this book is an excellent resource for anyone producing an alternative worship service or thinking of starting one.
