Cantor Certificate Psalms Psalm Repertoire Options, Explained As you prepare for each of the Cantor Certifications, we want to ensure that you are able to find the Psalms that are provided on the repertoire lists. Since churches use music from various publishers, each of the Psalm lists incorporates selections from all of the publishers, and in varying styles. So that you don’t have to review every Psalm on every list, here is some additional information to help you narrow down the Psalm choice that is best for you to prepare for your certificate. The list of BCC Psalms was compiled with the thought that no matter which major publisher a church uses to purchase their missals or hymnals, their cantors would have access to a majority of the psalms needed for the certificate. The list of ICC Psalms includes a variety of publishers (like the BCC). However, not all of the psalms are found in the missal or hymnal. A cantor may need to purchase an octavo using the order numbers provided on the application form. However, there are plenty of options that would not require cantors to make a purchase. You may simply access and sing psalms found in their parish hymnal. The CCC Psalms are not as easily accessible as the BCC and ICC psalms, in part because they are more challenging settings. Again, the order numbers are on the application. Simply go to the publisher’s website (or give them a call) and enter the item number. The psalm should appear as the search result, and you are ready to order. There are psalms you can access in your hymnal or missal, but not as many as the other certificates.
