Salmos Responsoriales y Aleluyas
Our Salmos Responsoriales (responsorial psalms) are written in Spanish and performed in a chant style with a Mexican Folk music flavor. Also included with each salmo is the Aclamación antes del Evangelio (Gospel acclamation). Many of the salmos are modeled with only a lead cantor voice and guitar. Some audio demos show how descant voices and other instruments can be added. These psalms are set to music by Anthony Moran, with some voice and instrument additions by Richard Schletty. They use approved lectionary scripture text from the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): usccb.org/bible/lecturas
Free downloads of audio files and guitar lead sheets (complete with lyrics and chords) are available here for you to enjoy and learn.
New salmos are being added to this collection every week until we have completed the three-year liturgical calendar comprised of ciclos (cycles) A, B and C.* To locate psalms, please use the search bar at top right of product table.
* Note: We are currently being limited by USCCB to publicly posting no more that ten salmos at a time. We are seeking permission to post the entire three-year liturgical calendar. We may be required to pay mechanical licensing fees in order for this to happen. Please pray for the success of our liturgical music teaching ministry. Thank you.
Numbering differences between English psalms and Spanish salmos
Numbering of the Psalms differs—mostly by one, see table—between the Hebrew (Masoretic) and Greek (Septuagint) manuscripts. Protestant translations use the Hebrew numbering, but other Christian traditions vary:
- Catholic official liturgical texts in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite follow the Hebrew numbering since 1969; the older texts of the Extraordinary Form use the Greek numbering
- Catholic modern translations often use the Hebrew numbering (noting the Greek number)
- Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic translations use the Greek numbering (noting the Hebrew number). Spanish salmos approved by the Mexican bishops use the Greek numbering.
