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.

He leadeth me! O blessed thought

Experience of Christ Following Him

English585
1
He leadeth me! O blessed thought,
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught;
Whate’er I do, where’er I be,
Still ’tis Christ’s hand that leadeth me.
 
He leadeth me! He leadeth me!
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
2
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
3
Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur or repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since it is Thou that leadest me.
4
And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since Thou in triumph leadest me.

It is so comforting that the Lord leads us.

The author of this hymn was pastor of Philadelphia's 1st Baptist Church during the Civil War. After one service, they were fellowshipping at deacon's house about the blessedness of God's leading. As others went on talking, Gilmore took out a pencil and wrote the words of this hymn, gave it to his wife, and forgot about it.

3 years later he was a pastoral candidate for a church in Rochester, NY. Since he was unfamiliar with the church's hymnal, he began leafing through it and spotted the hymn, "He Leadeth Me" - his own hymn! Without his knowledge, Mrs. Gilmore had sent the words to a Christian periodical, which had set them to music. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown and Norton.

A beautiful song indeed. A beautiful act to be lead by the Almighty's own hand. He has lead me in difficult circumstances and I praise Him with this song.

I truly love the hymn because I went through some bitter heartbreaks because I thought I was in the right way, but I realised that only the Lord leadeth me to all the good things in my life. The song comforteth me because He truly leadeth me.

Lovely song! Always loved it from a little girl, but I notice that it is missing the first few lines... Can this be fixed? It is such a nice song!
