Comments: I've heard a lot of complaints about the Genevan psalm tunes from people who seem to think Claude Goudimel wrote them. He didn't. He was just the first to harmonize them. Now I'm wondering if a more modern harmony would please these folks better. I hope to re-typeset and re-record the entire Genevan Psalter using this harmony by J. Worp, from 1953, and the new lyrics from the Canadian Reformed Church.
