The recording below is based on the Sarum Psalm tones as presented in the St. Dunstan’s Plainsong Psalter. It is chanted to Tone V 3.
Anglican chant setting by Heathcote Dicken Statham (1889–1973)
Since Martin Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress is our God” is a paraphrase of Psalm 46, Luther’s own melody for that confident hymn has long been used as the basis for Anglican chant rendering of the Psalm. It is sung here by the Durham Cathedral Choir directed by James Lancelot, with Ian Shaw playing the organ.
