David
Hurd’s New Plainsong, a
unison setting of the
ordinary of the Mass
first appeared in 1980
and quickly became a
staple of Roman Catholic
and Episcopal
congregations. It was
expanded in 1985 for
inclusion as one the
three complete mass
settings in GIA’s
iconic Worship—Third
Edition. Now, David has
set the new texts
according the 2010 Roman
Missal, keeping this
venerable setting alive
on the lips of
congregations. As the
title suggests, this is a
chant-like setting
accompanied by organ,
with sections equally
successful being sung
unaccompanied. This is
sturdy, beautiful music
that is able to bear
repetition week to week
throughout the year.
