    Here is Psalm 70 which I arranged yesterday for our men's Compline Choir. It should work too with SATB. The pedal point is only on the first half of the Psalm setting.

    I see that the harmonisation of your tone is by Frederick Burgomaster. Did you know him? He was a school mate of mine in the early sixties at Drury College in Springfield, Missouri. (Drury is known as 'the Harvard of the Mid-West'.) An outstanding musician, organist and choral director. He was for many years choirmaster at the Episcopal Cathedral in Buffalo, New York. I read several years ago in The American Organist that he had left this earthly life.

    Osborn,
    We're in Hilo at the moment. Thanks for the background check on Burgomaster. I took his 4-6,4-6 harmonization as the best one that marries the text for Ps. 70 from the collection of Anglican Chant Psalter
