Common Psalms

[oopsorganist]

Hello

Can anyone in cyber space explain what a common psalm is? And why are they used?

Thanks

It's a provision for communities who can't sing a different psalm every week or who wish to use a psalm for a specific season (Advent, Lent, Easter etc). Further details at: http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Calenda ... salms.html
