À propos de la notation chiffrée

La notation chiffrée (aussi appelée Jianpu, 简谱) note chaque son de la mélodie par un chiffre de 1 à 7 plutôt que par une note sur une portée. Le chiffre indique la position de la note dans la gamme du chant -- pas sa hauteur exacte -- de sorte que la même mélodie garde toujours la même apparence, quelle que soit la tonalité chantée.

Au sein d'une même octave, les chiffres 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspondent aux syllabes familières do ré mi fa sol la si. Un point au-dessus d'un chiffre le fait monter d'une octave ; un point en dessous le fait descendre d'une octave -- l'absence de point correspond à l'octave médiane, telle qu'écrite.

Un chiffre seul dure un temps. Un tiret (-) juste après un chiffre prolonge cette même note d'un temps supplémentaire. Un trait sous un chiffre le raccourcit au contraire -- un trait vaut un demi-temps, deux traits un quart de temps. Un 0 est un silence : une pause d'un temps.

L'indication en haut de la partition, par exemple "1=C" ou "1=Ab", précise la hauteur du degré 1 (le "do"). Un chant en mineur porte plutôt l'indication "6=X" -- le degré 6 (le "la") est alors la véritable tonique. Les noms d'accords indiqués au-dessus des notes (comme "C" ou "G7") restent toujours écrits avec leurs noms de lettres habituels, jamais sous forme de chiffres.

Par exemple, sous l'indication "1=C", les chiffres 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspondent aux notes C D E F G A B. Sous l'indication "1=G", ces mêmes chiffres correspondent plutôt à G A B C D E F# -- même forme, tonalité différente.

We bow and worship, Father, here

Worship of the Father His Intent

English32
1
We bow and worship, Father, here
And marvel at Thy wondrous love.
O what is man that Thou shouldst deign
To him such boundless grace to prove!
2
We praise Thee for Thy heart’s intent
That man Thy likeness should possess,
That with Thy life and nature filled
Thine image he should manifest.
3
Man in Thine image Thou didst make,
To him authority didst give;
Thyself presenting as his life,
That by Thy riches he might live.
4
To enter man Thou dost desire,
With him to mingle thru Thy grace,
That man may be transformed and built
To be Thy worthy dwelling place.
5
Tho’ man did fall, Thou didst not leave
Thy heart’s intent, but Thou didst move;
Redeeming man to bring him back,
Thou didst Thy love and wisdom prove.
6
In Christ Thou didst Thyself reveal,
Who died and rose, redemption wrought;
In Spirit Thou hast entered man
And to him life and grace hast brought.
7
My spirit is Thy holiest place,
Thy throne of grace is founded there;
Thou wouldst that we in spirit come
To burn the incense thru our prayer.
8
Such grace is like a river full
Which from the throne of grace doth come;
It floweth thru, transforming us,
And builds us up to be Thy home.
9
Receiving of Thy matchless grace,
We marvel at Thy gift so free;
With grateful hearts for Thy great love,
In spirit now we worship Thee.

William Knapp was the composer of the music for this hymn. He was born in 1698, Wareham, Dorsetshire, England and died September 26, 1768, Poole, Dorsetshire, England. He is buried in Poole, Dorsetshire, England.

Knapp was a parish clerk at St. John’s Church in Poole for four decades. Some of his publications include:

“A Set of New Psalms and Anthems in Four Parts” (London:1738).

“New Church Melody and a Set of Anthems, Psalms and Hymns in Four Parts”(London:1753).

Intra-Congregational sniping was a phenomenon of that day whereby poems or words written against someone could appear in a newspaper or magazine. This verse appeared in the “London Magazine” in 1742 by one H. Pierce about Knapp and George Savage, who was the sexton (custodian) of Knapp’s congregation.

“From pounce and paper, ink and pen,
Save me, O Lord, I pray;
From Pope and Swift, and such like men,
And Cibber’s annual lay;
From doctors’s bills and lawyer’s fees,
From ague, gout, and trap;
And what is ten times worse than these,
George savage and Will Knapp. ”

Stanza 7, lines 3&4
“Thou wouldst that we in spirit come
To burn the incense thru our prayer. ”

“And another Angel came and stood at the altar having a golden censer, and much incense was given to Him to offer with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. ” Rev. 8:3

“... and golden bowls full of incense, which bowls are the prayers of the saints. ” Rev. 5:8

Incense, signifies Christ with all His merits to be added to the prayers of the saints that the saints’ prayer offered upon the golden altar might be acceptable to God, (Rev. 8:3, footnote 4, incense)
