special guest,

Isender Maxton Graham.

This is going to be a general Psalms chat.

Isender, I've read lots of your really good articles on, well, cathedral choirs, on the history of English hymns, and maybe we're going to digress into some of that as well.

But let's talk about our experience of the Psalms.

I suspect that your experience of the Psalms is similar to mine in that I went to one of those

traditional English prep schools and public schools where we had well I mean we had seven we went to

chapel seven days a week and twice on Sundays and we would have to sing the hymns obviously but we'd also have Psalms and I remember

thinking that they were these dreary dirges that I didn't make sense I could you know I mean I would have been eight or nine at the time

when I started seeing them didn't make any any sense I mean I remember some phrases that are

stuck in my my brain like the fowls of the air and the fishes of the sea.

Was that your experience too?

Actually I think I came across some rather later because I came across them when I went to, in sixth form when I went to Kings Canterbury where I met

first of all I met boys who'd been choristers at at cathedrals and they introduced me to the world of Psalms and then I

I started singing in the school choir and we sang at songs 126 to 131.
