Talk:Psalm

I tried to search the database for compositions with the keyword psalm, but only this page appeared. Something wrong ?

Searching on a single keyword which happens to be the title of a page takes you directly to that page, and this is what happened when you searched on psalm. You might try including one or more additional keywords in your search. Since you are really searching for music (compositions) you might try searching on psalm music - or, for 4-part SATB settings, search on psalm 4vv SATB. Take a look at Help:How do I search for a score? for assistance on using the search facililties available. ChuckGiffen

Hi Noel (mjolnir)!

I was just in the process of replying to a topic you started over at the CPDL forums - the one you entitled "EEEEK! My landmarks have moved..." Anyway, according to the history of this page - http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Psalm&oldid=56026#Texts_.26_translations

you'd done all of Days 1 to 5, and Days 29 and 30, both morn and even. Coming across the page this evening I just saw a whole lot of unfilled-in bits of text looking rather forlorn and so I went on a tidying spree :)

Seriously though, it might be worth using the Sandbox, or this Talk:Psalm page, for recording any meta-editing information that might be relevant, such as "Which day am I up to adding translations for..." :)

Best regards, PML (it's Phil[u]ip[/u] by the way; or else I'd probably prefer it if you called me Fred! j.k.) --Pml 05:55:53, 2006-04-06 (PDT)

OK. I added content to the table of English incipits, and also changed the table layout to two columns instead of three to see how it looks.

But what I think would be an even better layout to have one column list the Latin incipit, and the other the English incipit, both of which are links to the appropriate page, thusly

Latin English

22 Dominus regit me             23 The Lord is my shepherd
     

112 Laudate pueri

113 In exitu 114 When Israel

                               115 Not unto us, O Lord  

114 Dilexi quoniam 116 I am well pleased

115 Credidi

116 Laudate Dominum 117 O praise the Lord

etc.

If it then seems expedient, other Psalm incipits can also be added, for example, 39:5, which was the beginning of Greene's setting, "Lord, let me know mine end". Incipits should also be added for the various sections of Psalm 118 / 119.
