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.

Jesus, my Savior, to Bethlehem came

Gospel The Savior

English989
1
Jesus, my Savior, to Bethlehem came,
Laid in a manger to sorrow and shame;
O it was wonderful, blest be His name,
Seeking for me, for me:
 
Seeking for me, for me,
Seeking for me, for me;
O it was wonderful, blest be His name,
Seeking for me, for me.
2
Jesus, my Savior, on Calvary’s tree
Paid the great debt, and my soul He set free;
O it was wonderful—how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!
 
Dying for me, for me,
Dying for me, for me;
O it was wonderful—how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!
3
Jesus, my Savior, the same as of old,
While I was wand’ring in darkness and cold,
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me!
 
Calling for me, for me,
Calling for me, for me;
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me!
4
Jesus, my Savior, shall come from on high.
Sweet is the promise as weary years fly:
O I shall see Him descend from the sky,
Coming for me, for me!
 
Coming for me, for me,
Coming for me, for me;
O I shall see Him descend from the sky,
Coming for me, for me!

This song reminds me of an old saint who was a great example to me. On her deathbed dying with Cancer, covered in bed sores and her bones protruding from her, she was belting out "Oh it is wonderful blest be His name..."

This always comes to mind when I hear extreme prosperity, health wealth preachers saying stupid things like "if you have sickness you lack faith!"

My friend in her dying hours exhibited a stronger faith and a closeness to God I have never seen before! She is now in that place where there is no sickness, tears, sorrow or death. I guess she'll be singing this one at the feet of her wonderful Saviour! "Oh it is wonderful, how can it be? Dying for me for me"

This is the song that my late father taught his young sister in Kerala India in the early 20th century. I was born in Malaysia in the 1950s and had never met my aunt. I heard this song for the first time, from my aunt when I visited Canada in 1980's with my mum to see my uncle. My aunt came from New York with her son who had migrated to New York to see us. My aunt impressed me of my father by singing this song that she had learnt from him as a young girl. She passed away recently aged 100 years old and would sing this song frequently in perfect English. The amazing thing about is that, she could not speak a word of English and yet she as an old woman, could still sing this song very well in good English, just as my father had taught that young girl all those years ago.

To me this is truly the power of God in this song!

This song came to my mind today when I recalled it was a Set Piece song for Music Competition for Primary Schools in Kenya in the late sixties. I was not in the main choir but in the Junior Choir at the time. The song is so powerful and brings new spiritual thoughts about the love of Christ Jesus. Oh praise be to Jesus on such times in our lives with floods, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, crimes in our cities etc. Great song.

I like this song because its a song about JESUS and it's a very slow, calm song and when I hear it I think about JESUS.
