    Can anyone recommend a nice setting of Isaiah 61/Luke 1 "My Soul Rejoices in My God", the responsorial psalm/canticle for the Third Sunday of Advent?

    There's the setting to the tune WILD MOUNTAIN AIRE. Otherwise any choral setting of the Magnificat will fit the text. IMSLP should have a good selection to start with.

    If you're describing David Haas's "Holy Is Your Name) set to the tune WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, is this an acceptable replacement for the responsorial psalm? Is this permitted because it's actually a canticle and not a psalm?

    Several settings are available at the Chabanel Psalms site:

    I couldn't find one, and went for the Lumen ChrstI Gradual To You O Lord, I Lift My Soul psalm as a seasonal resp. ps.

    From 1999-2003 or so, I was writing simple choral settings each week for the complete 3-yr Psalter (with the exception of summer Sundays, when my choirs were off duty). Here's the one for the Sunday in question.
