Psalm 137
Just to be able to appreciate how one can perform a simple Psalm - ès maisons, at home (not in the ecclesial liturgy according to Calvin, but of course nowadays one is free to decide otherwise) - using appropriate instruments, one Psalm (divided in 5 stanzas, all performed differently). From the CD "Les Matines de Paris, musique de l'époque des guerres de religion" by Ensemble Walsingham (now Le Trésor d'Orphée)
To be able to follow the text and the melody: psalm 137 from the Psaumes Octantetrois edition of 1554. [interesting detail: there is a difference in the final lines. The soprano sings "...de ta mamelle impure / pour les froisser contre la pierre dure". This is the original text of Marot (all mss, eds. 1539, 1542, 1543-Roffet). In the 1543-Geneva edition this was changed in what is printed below. The original however was restored in 1562].
