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.

Father, long before creation

Worship of the Father His Election

English33
1
Father, long before creation,
Thou hadst chosen us in love;
And that love, so deep, so moving,
Draws us close to Christ above,
And will keep us, and will keep us,
Firmly fixed in Christ alone,
Firmly fixed in Christ alone.
2
Though the world may change its fashion,
Yet our God is e’er the same;
His compassion and His cov’nant
Through all ages will remain.
God’s own children, God’s own children,
Must forever praise His name,
Must forever praise His name.
3
God’s compassion is my story,
Is my boasting all the day;
Mercy free and never failing
Moves my will, directs my way.
God so loved us, God so loved us,
That His only Son He gave,
That His only Son He gave.
4
Loving Father, now before Thee
We will ever praise Thy love;
And our song will sound unceasing
Till we meet Thy Son above,
Giving glory, giving glory,
To our God and to the Lamb,
To our God and to the Lamb.

Francis P. Jones (1890-1975) was born in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. He entered Platteville Teachers Training College in 1907. In 1911 he continued his education at Northeastern University, Garret Evangelical Seminary and at the University of Chicago.

Jones went to Fukien, China in 1915 as a missionary. In 1930, he obtained a master of theology degree in Union Theological Seminary. He taught in Nanking and served in the hymnal committee which included Bliss Wiant to produce Hymns of Universal Praise (Pu Ti An Song Zan. )

In 1937, he taught New Testament studies in Nanking Seminary and founded the school of sacred music there.

In 1938, he began reading for his doctorate degree at Union Theological seminary.

During the Sino-Japanese War, he went to Szechwan Chanti to translate and edit classical Christian literature but had to stop because of the political upheaval.

In 1951, Jones returned to America and taught at Drew Theological Seminary and became the chief editor for China’s News in Brief for 11 years. He retired in 1960 but continued to translate in the Association of Theological Schools in S. E. Asia. His translations include works of E. D. E. Schleiermacher and Von Hagel. His contributions are commented as equivalent to that of Kumarajiva who in the Tang Dynasty translated major classical works of Buddhism.

I appreciate stanza two. “ Though the world may change its fashion”. In light of Genesis 6:3 which says that indeed man is flesh we also have the full assurance that our God remains the same. Though the world may change praise the Lord we can lay our hands with full assurance on Christ who has completely fulfilled the type of the burnt offering for our sins and God is appeased.

God's merciful covenant I think of as like the game of tennis in that the means to accomplish it may have changed but it is still the same game. God's everlasting Covenant is the same yesterday, today and forever. Praise Him for drawing us to Himself in His time and Providence.

I am touched by stanza 3:

God’s compassion is my story,
Is my boasting all the day;
Mercy free and never failing
Moves my will, directs my way.

This corresponds to Lamentations 3:22-23 : It is Jehovah's lovingkindness that we are not consumed, For His compassions do not fail; They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.
