Psalms in fauxbourdon

    I am trying to expand my choir's repertoire with greater use of psalms, even as offertory or communion chants in direct form without antiphons. Does anyone know of a quality collection of psalms in Latin fauxbourdon, or Anglican chant in Latin? Ideally, they would have sheet music with all the words and notes.

    I'm not aware of any examples, but that could be an interesting project: perhaps to start with some existing antiphon with organ accompaniment, and add fauxbourdon verses in the appropriate mode.

    Send me a message. I have tons, but not in file formats that can be easily uploaded here. In the process of converting them to PDF.

    Although not exactly what you are looking for, but might it be useful, if I make an edition with the Latin (instead of English) Doxology of my three part Anglican Chant?

    As the formula can be used with any psalm verse, underlaying a specific chant would be pointless. So you would still have to mark the chord changes in the psalm verses somehow (asterisk, underline, ...), but at least the (through-composed) doxology would be written out.

    Perruchot did some pretty good work on fauxbourdons.
