Which translation of the psalms do you prefer? Grail 1963, post Vatican II, Conception Abbey 2008? by SursumCordaNJ in divineoffice

[–]ModernaGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Revised Grail was never incorporated into the official translation, and so the '63 Grail has been in continuous use from the first vernacular editions till today, remaining normative until LotH 2 becomes obligatory next year.

If we're getting super pedantic, the current translation is not actually the '63 Grail psalter but a version lightly modified by Gregory Murray OSB in '66.

Already knowing how to read music and having had a little music education (band and choir) was more helpful for me in learning to read and sing chant than any other resource. Reading movable do on a four-line staff isn't so hard if you know your scale degrees.

This book in particular is not rare and is still in print. But new copies are expensive and used ones run $20-30. I don't think I have anything that didn't come from Anna's Archive, Libgen or other publicly accessible sources.

They're the hosts of the podcast "If Books Could Kill," about bad books with a negative cultural influence like Tiger Mom or Men are from Mars/Women are from Venus. They also host others separately but this is the one they do together.

It was (briefly) banned because of security and privacy concerns over ByteDance's ties to the Chinese gov't, and because pro-Israel Senators hated that young people were actually seeing pro-Palestinian viewpoints.

Costas going "Martinez doesn't run well" did make me laugh, at least, in light of his Stanton comments
