The Nova Organi Harmonia (published in the 1940's) served as the model of modal accompaniment for the Chabanel Psalms.

It was difficult to decide which examples to include considering that the NOH is a 3,000 page collection, and every page is exceptional.

Therefore, the reader is asked to remember when viewing the following examples that these are merely the "tip of the iceberg":

Set A:
• Page 1 • Page 2 • Page 3 • Page 4 • Page 5 • Page 6 • Page 7 • Page 8 • Page 9 •

Set B:
• Page 1 • Page 2 • Page 3 • Page 4 • Page 5 •

Set C:
• Page 1 • This example was chosen to highlight the fact that, even in a simple little response, the NOH editors took great care to produce exceptional harmonizations. The purple and red lines draw attention to the beautiful voice leading.

ADDENDUM • The reader can also click here to compare some of Bas's accompaniments to those of the NOH. The Propers are from the feast of St. Lawrence, August 10.
