Psalm 117 • Go out to all the world and tell the Good News! • (Euntes in mundum)

Here we present James Richardson’s setting of Psalm 117 (the refrain is actually taken from Mk 16:15) “Go out to all the world and tell the Good News!”.

This arrangement draws its melody from the ‘Antiphonarium pro Ecclesia Einsidlensi’ dated c. 1300-1314. The text of the refrain matches the ancient antiphon perfectly, and as such, nearly every single note of the original melody was recycled (in proper sequence) into this new arrangement. Notable features include the fact that the melody for “Good News” is taken from “evangelium” and the melody for the verses continues where the refrain left off (“omni creature alleluia”).

An SATB time-stamped practice track is available for sending to your schola on the ServiamScores YouTube channel.
