Psalm Tones with Their Endings

Here's a one-page chart that gives the Psalm tones and their various endings; it originally comes from the Liber Usualis. Musica Sacra has the PDF file, if you'd rather have that. (Click the image below for the full-size chart.)





I need to compare and contrast in detail, but I do believe the Sarum Psalm tones are slightly different in some of their endings.

It is a great chart--but yes, the Sarum tones are different.

In fact, IIRC, they may differ in more than just their endings as well--but it's been a while since I studied them.

Thank you for posting all these tones, and for your comments on the individual tones. Very helpful. I'm glad Derek nagged you into it.

I'm delighted that you find it helpful. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

And: yes, Derek is good that way....

Mission St. Clare here. Can someone contact me (I don't find a contact on your blog). I need some help placing chants. Thanks, and blessings.
