You must be thinking, "Is that math right? How many psalms does this guy's bible have in it...?"
Well, The Psalmist's Harp is going to offer multiple text/tune pairings for some of the psalms -- for instance, Psalm 137 will be offered in three distinct versions. Additionally, one must account for the 23 individual parts of Psalm 119, each of which is given its own tune in the book. All told, there will be a total of (as of this stage of planning and execution) 209 discrete entries in the book.
Check out one of the tunes from today's crop, a pairing of an old version of BOURBON, also drawn from Freeman Lewis' Beauties of Harmony (1814). While the tune is probably known to many who have a familiarity with modern mainline protestant hymnody, Lewis provides a variant slightly different from the versions most commonly found in hymnals. Take a look below!
