Psalms for the Church Year Volume X by Malcolm Kogut
GIA's venerable Psalms for the Church Year series has a fresh face with this new volume from Malcolm Kogut, who brings his gift for melody and his comfortable jazz-tinged style to this important new collection of psalms.
Malcolm fills some repertoire "holes" with these settings. He has set Psalm 47: "God Mounts His Throne to Shouts of Joy" for Ascension, and Psalm 45: "The Queen Stands at Your Right Hand" for Assumption, along with a mix of other common and lesser-known psalms. Using primarily ICEL refrains and several Grail translations, this volume is a worthy addition to the Psalms for the Church Year series. And, as with the other volumes, it includes reprint boxes of all refrains and a liturgical use index.

Psalms for the Church Year, Vol. X by Malcolm Kogut
Text Author : various
17 psalm settings for use at various times through the church year. Liturgical use listing provided. Reprintable refrains for assembly included.
Review: Fresh, alive, and varied are appropriate descriptions for the psalm settings found in this volume. Each of the seventeen psalms is given a unique treatment full of interesting harmonies that captures its spirit. There is plenty for the experienced cantor and instrumentalist to sink their teeth into. Some of the best settings are those for Psalms 4, 17, 22, 42, 45, 47, 80, 90, 112, 137, and 145. The composer exhibits his great creativity in these settings; now we need to be just as creative in finding ways to use them. Their obvious use is as responsorial psalms at Eucharist, but some of these pieces would also make good processionals for gathering, preparation of the gifts, and communion. They would also find use in the rites of anointing the sick, penance, confirmation, marriage, and the liturgy of the hours. This collection, in other words, is well worth looking into. Tint Dyksinski

Chant by Malcolm Kogut / Philip Roberts
Arranger : Philip Roberts
Malcolm Kogut's original piano score has been artfully re-crafted for handbells. The steady rhythm pushes this piece from a simple medieval-like melody into a richly textured fabric of sound. The parallel harmony beckons the listener to an earlier time and place.

Spirit of the Living God by Malcolm Kogut / Daniel Iverson
Arranger : Malcolm Kogut
This 1935 charismatic hymn to the Holy Spirit is given a positively captivating treatment here. While the SATB scoring is mostly what one would expect, it is dressed in a piano accompaniment that can be characterized as nothing short of lovely.
