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.

It is well

Assurance and Joy of Salvation General

English341
1
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”
 
It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!
2
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
3
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
4
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Recently a friend's husband past and she asked that my mother & I sing this song at the services. And I never thought of this song for this type of service, but it says it all... It is well with my soul! Everyone was comforted by the song and it was a great testimony to everyone there.

I was brought up in the Bible belt in Alabama. My parents did not always agree, hence the three divorces from each other. They even went on to marry others. Mother had three husbands under her belt, one she buried. Father has had four wives all ending in divorces. I married a Navy man. His first ship was the USS Stark FFG 31. That was the ship that was hit by two Iranian missiles. He had gotten off six miths before the disaster. He knew 39 of the 41 killed. His rack was distroyed. Not long after that my husband's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went from one breast to the other, to her lungs, to her spine, and finally she had a brain tumor. I always told her when I talked to her that I was praying for her. She gave me the best compliment. Before she died she accepted the Lord because she said I had witnessed to her by my actions since I had married her son. Mom was dead just after her 49th birthday after a five year battle. Through all this I remember the song saying 'whatever my lot, it is well with my soul.' After hearing the history of this song (which I wish you provided to others), I knew that no matter what happens in my life, God is there to help make it well in my soul. I just have to give it over to Him which is never an easy task. We all want to have that control, but if we give the control to the Lord then He will make it right.
