Ascending

For those of you interested in Jamie Soles, he's recently come out with a new album, Ascending. This is a collection of the Psalms of Ascent (Ps. 120-134) put to newer tunes. There is a chant version of one psalm as well as a tune from the Genevan Psalter for another. These are folk tunes, family tunes, good for long car rides and playing and singing around the house. The great thing is that they are word for word (or very close to it) taken from the ESV. I hadn't realized how close they were to the actual text until not long ago when I was reading through that section of the Psalter. And lo and behold I already knew them all.

So take a listen and get yourself a copy. Click here, or just google "Jamie Soles Psalms of Ascent".
