I Chronicles 6:33

And these are they that stood with their sons, of the sons of Caath, Heman, a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,

Heman. Some families among the Levites were more distinguished than the rest, having authority to regulate the singers, and to give the tune. Hence many psalms are addressed to these masters of music. Yet from those titles we cannot surely infer that those psalms were composed by Asaph, etc. (Calmet)
