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.

I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend

Assurance and Joy of Salvation Loved by the Lord

English288
1
I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.
2
I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His forever.
3
I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well,
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No! I am His forever.

My husband is in the ICU dying of lymphoma and last night, when I couldn't sleep, this hymn came up in my heart. I hadn't heard or sung this hymn in a long time. I sang it to my husband today when I went to visit. I know that the Lord ministered to me last night and to my husband today through the words of this song.

James Small was a minister in the Scottish Free Church who loved to write hymns. His first book was "Hymns for Youthful Voices", published in 1859. This hymn, originally called "Jesus the Friend", was published 4 years later in "The Revival Hymnbook". - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

I was reminded last night in our devotional reading from Our Daily Bread of this song. It took me back many years and I was reminded of God's greatness and faithfulness. Thank you.

I have been in a mental slump over the past couple of weeks and was just browsing for some hyms on the internet and came up with these classics. Thank God for using you and your ministry. The Holy Spirit is truly at work and the Lord has more than one way to reach a broken soul. My soul is lifted up this morning as I am reminded that I have a Friend, oh, such a Friend that loves so tenderly more than any human love that I am longing for. Will pray for you and your ministry as I ask for you to do the same. God bless. Maranatha!

I've been reading through some of these beautiful hymns and spending time praising, adoring and worshipping God. It's been a fantastic time!

I remember when I gave my life to the Lord when I was 8 the thing that lead me to this decision was the knowledge that Jesus would be my Friend who would be with me always! He has always proved to be that faithful and loving Friend He promised to be. He is willing to be your Friend too. O Jesus, I love You. Thank You. Blessings!

It is 6:30 in the morning & God put some words in my mind. So, to search for it I came to the computer. What a wonderful surprise to have the music reach my heart & ears the first thing in the morning. God seems to give me "songs in the morning". PTL
