Psalmen is a music genre deeply rooted in Christian liturgical traditions, focusing on the singing of psalms, which are sacred songs or hymns from the Bible. This genre is characterized by its solemn, reverent tone and is typically performed by choirs—often male or mixed—and accompanied by organ music. Prominent in Dutch Christian communities, psalmen songs embrace a rich harmonic structure and are imbued with spiritual depth and theological significance. Artists in this genre, such as Westlands Mannenkoor and Jan Mulder, showcase intricate vocal arrangements and organ accompaniments, sometimes featuring contemporary interpretations while maintaining a strong connection to classical ecclesiastical music traditions.
