Pilgrim Psalms by Ross Lee Finney is a collection of choral and organ works based on the Ainsworth Psalter, brought by the pilgrims to Plymouth in 1620, "these melodies are among america's greatest folk heritage, influencing sacred singing through each century." Finney's sympathetic settings retain the Psalter's appealing tunes and incorporate the Psalter's seventeenth-century English text. The Harvard Choruses are directed by Andrew Clark in this first recording of Finney's important work.
