In Psalms for All Seasons is a setting of Psalm 133 (Behold the Goodness of Our Lord, PfAS 133A) that seemed just right for the Guitarchestra this past Sunday. The melody, DETROIT, comes from the Kentucky Harmony hymnal. Like a lot of early American hymn tunes, it has a rugged beauty that just won’t let you go. These tunes often benefit from a more rustic arrangement, rather than the smooth voice leading you find in hymnals, so I provided one.
Here you can see me rehearsing the song this past Sunday, shadowed by the youngest member of the Guitarchestra, James.

Really dig how that Psalm sounds… happen to have the guitar tab?
Hey Jason, I’m glad you liked it! The only music I have for the song is the hymnal with chords marked above. It’s about 5 pages into this PDF: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nj9gyfde71m41zf/gstra-04.12.15.pdf?dl=0.
that works perfect, thanks
