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.

Fight the good fight with all thy might

Spiritual Warfare Fighting On

1
Fight the good fight with all thy might!
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.
2
Run the straight race through God’s good grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.
3
Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.
4
Faint not nor fear, His arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

I have not sung this hymn in years and reading it again it was such a blessing. After a difficult year dominated by Covid it refocussed my mind on eternal truths.

I was reading the story of Jarius daughter being raised to life by Jesus and the phase "only believe " sparked the song in my heart. Tomorrow marks the 5th anniversary of my marriage and I am grateful to God who has showed us mercy and grace.

I just celebrated a birthday last weekend. I am in my 60s and even though, I am active and still working, I am constantly reminded of my mortality by bodily pains and aches. This morning, I woke up with back pains and I started singing ‘Fight a Good Fight’ ; I find a lot of comfort from the song.

I agree with Elizabeth (Known As Grace) Seymour, Rustington, West ussex, United Kingdom:

‘This is a Christ-exalting hymn as it speaks of Him being our strength, our path, our prize, our life, our love, and our right! ’

Was singing another hymn this morning, and somehow automatically switched to that part of this hymn, "Lay hold on Life, and it shall be Thy joy and crown eternally"; one of my favorite hymns from Sunday School days.

At about 4:30 a. m. this morning, the words "lay hold on life" were on my mind. I found them in this hymn.

To have to “fight the good fight” may superficially seem to be a contradiction with Jesus' words about coming to Him and finding rest for our souls. In that context (Matthew 11:28-30) though He is talking about rest from rules and regulations of the Pharisees. It comes back again to maintaining our relationship with Him. He promises life in all its fullness, but we do need to "lay hold of it".

This is a Christ-exalting hymn as it speaks of Him being our strength, our path, our prize, our life, our love, and our right! “He is my all in all” as a more modern song puts it.

I was astonished to know that others have had the experience of waking up with the verse of a hymn on their minds. I hunted through all my hymn books without success- then I thought of the internet - thank you! I lost a good friend (a priest) aged 98 years just a few days ago - I had helped him with his correspondence when his sight began to fail. Although I have a strong faith, nevertheless, when I lost my dear friend, I felt just a little bit further away from God. However, this morning, the verse on my mind told me: "Only believe, and thou shalt see that Christ is all in all to thee". yes - from "Fight the Good Fight".
