GENEVAN 95, composed in the Dorian mode, was first published in the 1542 Genevan Psalter. It gained popularity in the Dutch Reformed tradition because of Psalm 95's historic association with the beginning of morning worship. The tune is challenging; almost every musical phrase has its own rhythm and unique melodic structure. But it is worth some extra effort. In fact, it is the only tune in the Genevan Psalter used as a setting for four psalms: 24, 62, 95, and III (see chart on p. 33).
