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.

It's like God inspired this song for people going through a family crisis. I woke this morning with a barrage of thoughts on things to do to end the marriage because I am tired of fighting and my partner is not budging. But three Bible verses popped into my thoughts:

1. Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...

Lord, but I have been waiting and nothing has changed. Then came the second one:

2. Luke 9:23 - If anyone desires to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross DAILY and follow Me.

And the third one followed.

3. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

That's how this song from my childhood popped: His sheep am I. I don't even remember all the tune but I am going YouTube it and memorize the stanzas. What a blessing! What a comfort!

I’ve always loved this song so much! I grew up singing a completely different second verse than the ones listed here. It went:

The Good Shepherd is watching o’er his lambs day by day.
Guiding their footsteps in the narrow way.
Little lambs are his precious and most tender concern.
His lamb am I!

I learned this song as a child, but only the first verse. We are going through a family crisis & after my devotion this morning, this song came to my memory. So glad I looked it up & found the 2nd verse. Plans to memorize the 2nd verse & teach the song to my granddaughter.

I became a born again Christian when I was in college, 48 years ago. ,and I learned this song in one of the weekly Christian gatherings in our campus.

I found myself just now remembering this song, & wanting to share this with the women of my sunday school group led me to this website.

The manager at a station in Parkersburg let a troupe of us from summer camp sing into his can and I remember this song from that time (about 1963).

I remember singing this song during the meetings of a Christian girls club equivalent to Girl Scouts called Pioneer Girls in the 60s…Such a lovely song of God’s ever present provision and grace… Wonderful imagery of the sheep and the shepherd in His pastures

3rd verse:

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?

I sang this song in 6th through 8th grade. This song brings back many fond and meaningful memories. After all these year I could only recalled part of the lyrics but I remembered the tune. I was ecstatic that I found the song. Over the last 45 years I have looked for the entire lyrics. My children have heard me speak of this song there entire life now I can share it with my children and grandchildren.
