Über die Zahlennotation

Die Zahlennotation (auch Jianpu oder 简谱 genannt) schreibt jede Melodienote als Zahl von 1 bis 7 statt als Note auf einem Notensystem. Die Zahl zeigt die Stellung der Note in der Tonleiter des Liedes -- nicht ihre genaue Tonhöhe --, sodass dieselbe Melodie unabhängig von der gesungenen Tonart gleich aussieht.

Innerhalb einer Oktave entsprechen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 den bekannten Solmisationssilben Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti. Ein Punkt über einer Zahl hebt sie um eine Oktave an; ein Punkt darunter senkt sie um eine Oktave ab -- ohne Punkt bleibt es bei der mittleren, so geschriebenen Oktave.

Eine einzelne Zahl dauert einen Schlag. Ein Bindestrich (-) direkt nach einer Zahl hält dieselbe Note einen weiteren Schlag lang. Ein Strich unter einer Zahl verkürzt sie dagegen -- ein Strich ist ein halber Schlag, zwei Striche ein viertel Schlag. Eine 0 ist eine Pause: ein Schlag Stille.

Die Angabe oben auf dem Notenblatt, zum Beispiel "1=C" oder "1=Ab", zeigt, auf welcher Tonhöhe die Stufe 1 ("Do") liegt. Ein Lied in Moll trägt stattdessen die Angabe "6=X" -- Stufe 6 ("La") ist dann der eigentliche Grundton. Akkordsymbole über den Noten (wie "C" oder "G7") werden immer mit ihren gewohnten Buchstabennamen geschrieben, nie als Zahlen.

Bei der Angabe "1=C" klingen die Zahlen 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 als C D E F G A B. Bei "1=G" klingen dieselben Zahlen dagegen als G A B C D E F# -- gleiche Form, andere Tonart.

In God’s green pastures feeding

Experience of God As the Shepherd

1
In God’s green pastures feeding by His cool waters lie;
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I,
All the sheep of His pasture
Fare so wondrously fine; His sheep am I.
 
Sisters: Waters cool,
Brothers: In the valley;
Sisters: Pastures green,
Brothers: On the mountain,
Sisters: In the evening
Brothers: In the evening
Everyone: Walk my Lord and I.
 
Sisters: Dark the night,
Brothers: In the valley,
Sisters: Rough the way,
Brothers: On the mountain,
Sisters: Step by step...
Brothers: Step by step.
Everyone: My Lord and I.
2
Through the streets of the city in the darkness of the night,
Far from the fold, He heard my lonely cry.
Now I sit at His table in the palace of light;
His sheep am I.

This tune just came back to me a week ago and I’ve been trying to remember the lyrics. Found it here and it brought back memories of emotions I had as a teen when we sang this song in youth group. This represents an intimacy with the LORD I needed to regain. So glad I found it here!

I learned this at Bible camp as a young teenager. I played alto recorder and a friend played flute for talent night. As an adult I taught it to my children to sing parts with me. My oldest daughter loved it so much she sang the parts with me at a hymn night when she was about three.

I remember singing this song in the chapel service at our Christian school in the early 60's. I'm glad I found it again.

I learned three verses but for the life of me can only remember two. The first verse (above) is the same. I have *never* heard the second (above). And the additional verse I can remember goes as follows:

Oh, do you know the Shepherd who has died for His sheep?
Know of His cleansing blood, His power to keep?
He's a wonderful Savior and He loves you and me.
Are you His sheep?

What a joy to find this song here. I learned this song at Camp Fireside, a Christian camp in New Hampshire back in the early 60’s. We were only taught the first verse. Our chapel , Garrish Chapel, had a metal roof and on torrential raining days you could not even hear the pastor. So, we were instructed to sing this song as loud as we could! It was so much fun. Sometimes we sang the song in round. My very best memories as a young girl came from my many summers at this camp and remembering this song which I still sing from time to time when I am troubled and feeling lost.

our maternal uncle taught us this song... we used to sing in rounds. I still cherish those times. I even taught this song to my son.

I've sung this since I was a child and it's one of my favorites. I've always known the second verse to be:

Yes the Lord is my shepherd
And no want shall I know.
He'll guide and comfort me
Where 'ere I go.
On the mount, in the valley,
By His hand He shall lead,
His sheep all I.
