SWUC Psalm selection ideas

This table lists some recommended psalm tunes and sources. It does not include all
tones and chants, generally programmed to go with a communion (first Sunday) but
available each week if seems best alternative; eg. a meditative or traditional feel is
appropriate. See also http://lectionarysong.blogspot.com.au/ for many other ideas.

First choice in red, subject to inspirations, decisions on messages and themes to be

emphasised; if underlined, at least one good rehearsal is required.
Good alternative or second choice in dark red
Blue for leader, event or planning note
Other supporting music ideas in green

Suggestions welcome to Brendan at ologhlin[at]apex.net.au or 0438 44 33 99.
