Hello! Does anyone know a website or CD or video on how to sing the psalms? I have the book, "The Psalms: A New Translation: Singing Version," by Paulist Press, which has The Grail translations of the Psalms in it and the Gelineau instructions for using psalm tones, but it is way over our heads, and we'd love to be able to sing the psalms.
I've heard that the early church used to pray all 150 psalms every day, or something like that.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Happy 4th of July and Happy feast day of St. Elizabeth of Portugal!

| I know that in the Anglican world priests are obligated to read the book of psalms totally every month- infact in our book of common prayer all the psalms are in it

Lee, I’m afraid you may have run into a stone wall. The English version of the Liturgy of the Hours, which also uses the Grail version of the Psalms, has the same Gelineau instructions. I am not aware of a separate source of information, but you might want to check websites like this one from Princeton University for leads.

The rosary is descended from a counting rope monks used to use to count the 150 psalms as they recited them. Common people couldn't read, so instead of the psalms they recited common scripture verses. Gradually the first part of the "Hail Mary" became the most commonly recited verses, and the prayer and rosary developed from that.
The Orthodox use a set of counting beads or knots to recite the Jesus prayer, and Muslims also use a counting device to recite the 99 names if Allah. Many other religions (Buddhists, Ba'hai, Hindu, Sikhs) also use prayer beads or ropes, and Anglicans and Protestants have reintroducted them as well.
You can read about the history of the rosary at New Advent. There's an article on other forms of prayer beads in the Wikipedia.
You can find sites promoting the Christian rosary, the Anglican rosary, the Orthodox prayer rope, the Lutheran Rosary, and many, many others.
By the way, while researching this reply, I came across a site called Jesus, Mary, and Martin which explains Marian devotion from a Lutheran standpoint using the teachings of the Church Fathers, Martin Luther, and the Protestant "Reformers". It is an extremely interesting site, and would be very interesting to use for apologetics purposes.

This link takes you to the Radio Vatican where you can hear sung daily the Hours, at least Lauds, Vespers and Compline! For us, click on the appropriate link in the Server column. I clicked "America" and it sounds pretty good!
