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.

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.

I’m always moved to worship, when I think how this hymn was born through much suffering and agony of loosing his family while in revival.

I continue to be still before the Lord, asking his help to keep me grounded knowing “it is well! ”

I always enjoy reading how various writers are inspired by some particular experience to then write a wonderful hymn. Perhaps none was more tragic than the events that inspired Horacio Spafford to compose the words to the beautiful hymn, “When Peace Like a River. “ Spafford was a successful lawyer, and a friend of D. L. Moody, whose investments and assets were largely wiped out by the Great Chicago Fire. His only son also died from scarlet fever. Wanting to have some time away and to regroup, he decided to take his wife and four young daughters on an extended trip to Europe, where he also planned to assist Moody with one of his evangelistic tours. They booked a ship voyage across the Atlantic… But at the last minute, Spafford was delayed by urgent business. He decided to send his family on ahead of himself and planned to re-join them as quickly as he could. His wife and four girls set sail… But several days later he received a rather terse telegram from his wife: “only I survived. ” The ship had collided with another vessel, in the middle of the ocean, which thus sent the ship, and most of its passengers to the bottom of the sea. Somehow his wife was saved. Utterly devastated, Stafford, nevertheless headed out on another ship shortly afterwards to meet his wife. As his ship sailed toward the middle of the Atlantic, the captain told Spafford, “this is right about where the ship went down. “ What an overwhelming feeling must have coursed through his body at that moment, thinking that his dearly beloved young daughters were right, then a mile or so beneath him. Rather than being completely crushed, or perhaps, in spite of it, Stafford returned it to his cabin, and penned these lovely words. I don’t know if he ever fully recovered from his losses…but at that moment, at least, he knew that God was in control, and that the Almighty held him close.

The true hymns were composed in great suffering by the people of God.
