Parish Book of Psalms is a collection of a cappella Responsorial Psalm settings composed by Arlene Oost-Zinner. These settings, already widely-used through the Chabanel Psalms project, are easy and accessible for congregations, and provide a way to introduce plainchant in English in the average parish.

This volume includes psalms for the complete three-year lectionary cycle of Sunday and holy day Masses according to the liturgical calendar for the U.S.A.

Available in hardcover from the CMAA Shop.
