Hymns and Psalms For each Sunday and major solemnity, our music editor selects a wide range of hymns and psalm settings from all the major Australian and US hymnals and psalm collections. In addition, there is a database of hymn selections that covers the three year Liturgical cycle. There are several tools you can use in planning your liturgy: Hymn Suggestions – a suggested list of hymns appropriate for that particular day. Psalm Suggestions – psalm settings appropriate for that particular day, often including common psalms. Lectionary Based – displays any hymns and psalms that are directly associated with the readings for that day. Music List – this function allows you to view hymns sorted into alphabetical listings based on:Title; Composer; Tune; Meter; Psalm; and Parts of the Mass. Search – allows you to search for hymns and psalms by any of the following criteria: Key Word; Composer; Tune; Hymnal & Number.
Music selections are also available thematically with over 250 themes. Music related to scriptural passages can also be accessed via both the Lectionary search functions and the NRSV Bible. Our Repertoire feature allows you to show only those hymns that are used regularly by your parish. You can also select which hymnals are displayed in any of our listings. Subscribers who have paid the additional cost for the rights to use HymnPrint material can download the hymnal music as either TIFF or PDF files and access hymn lyrics (text). As you search through the lists of Hymn Suggestions, you can add hymns to a unique Work List. This list can be renamed and customized. You can listen to a preview of any hymn which has the sound icon next to it. And if you wish to view a low resolution sample of the music (not suitable for reproduction) click on the view icon.
