The Morgan Library & Museum will present Sing a New Song: The Psalms in Medieval Art and Life, the first exhibition of its kind devoted to the importance of the Psalms throughout medieval art, prayer, and everyday life. On view from Sept. 12, 2025, through Jan. 4, 2026, Sing a New Song traces the impact of the Psalms on people in medieval Europe from the sixth to the 16th century, encompassing daily practices and performance, as well as the creation and illumination of Psalters (Books of Psalms). Drawing on five years of scholarly research, the exhibition and accompanying publication take the Psalms out of their established place in religious texts and paint a vibrant picture of the people who used them - men, women, and children, both religious and lay. Psalms are some of the most beloved texts in the Abrahamic traditions of the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These sacred poems constitute the longest and most popular book in the Bible. They include expressions of lament and loss, petitions and confessions, and exclamations of joy and thanksgiving, universal themes that speak to what it means to be human. Included in this show are the varieties of books that aided in these devotions - Psalters, Breviaries, Missals, and Graduals, among others - some of which were exquisitely illuminated. The exhibition explores how the Psalms were used, both at church and at home; how they were illuminated; how they were performed; and how they appear at both the beginning and the end of life.
