It appears that this is not only a solid hymnal, but a truly revolutionary step forward for confessional, liturgical worship in the francophone world. <br /><br />On setting the French Verba to Luther's tone, let me ask around with some of my chant experts . . . <br /><br />+HRCPr.

To answer your questions in this po...Pastor Curtis,<br />To answer your questions in this post:<br />1) The Verba is not set to chant because none exists and we knew of no native French speaker who was capable of setting them to the chant tones used in LSB. Should this become available in the future, it will be posted on Lutheran Church - Canada's hymnal web site. Traditional or 3 year propers for the introit and gradual could be used, but since the psalm translation is copyrighted and we had limited space and money to work with, they aren't included in the book nor available on the web site. But, they could be sung using the model for the psalms in the book.<br />2) The Nunc Dimittis in Suite liturgique B is a traditional French metrical setting commonly sung throughout French protestantism, including Lutheranism. In fact, the simple chanting of the biblical text was never done before LCL (see Compline). All three settings of the Divine Service only have a metrical version of the Nunc Dimittis.<br />3) As a little background information:<br />a) Suite liturgique A is a uniquely French musical setting from the late 60's. It's commonly used in France and Québec. <br />b) As I'm sure you've noticed, the Gloria in excelsis in both Suite liturgique A & B is the same. In French Lutheranism, the Gloria in excelsis is rarely sung these days. There is one Reformation-era musical setting, but it isn't used much, in part, no doubt, because it's so un-singable. <br />Thanks again for your review.<br />David SAAR<br />Comité liturgique francophone de l'Église luthérienne du CanadaDavid Saarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110858463677065464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778905687600416321.post-42751631609389499922010-10-28T13:54:51.648-05:002010-10-28T13:54:51.648-05:00Fr.
