The Merton Psalter: Pointed And Adapted To The Gregorian Tones (1867)

The Merton Psalter: Pointed And Adapted To The Gregorian Tones is a book published in 1867 by H.W. Sargent. The book contains a collection of psalms from the Bible, specifically the Book of Psalms, which have been adapted to the Gregorian tones. The psalms are presented in a pointed format, meaning that they are marked with symbols indicating the proper intonation for singing or chanting. The book is named after Merton College, Oxford, where the psalter was originally used in the 14th century. The adaptation to the Gregorian tones was done in order to make the psalms more suitable for use in liturgical settings, such as church services. The book is a valuable resource for musicians, liturgists, and scholars interested in the history of Christian music and worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
