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.

My heart is resting, O my God

Experience of God As the Everlasting Portion

English601
1
My heart is resting, O my God,
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
 
Oh, peace of God that passeth thought,
I daily, hourly sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
2
Now this frail vessel Thou hast made,
No hand but Thine shall fill;
The waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.
3
I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of Thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
4
A glad, new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set,
A song of praise for all the grace
I have not tasted yet.
5
I have a heritage of joy
That yet I must not see;
The hand that bled to make it mine
Is keeping it for me.
6
There is a certainty of love
That sets my heart at rest;
A calm assurance for today
That to be poor is best.
7
A prayer reposing on His truth,
Who hath made all things mine;
That draws my captive will to Him,
And makes it one with Thine.

Anna Laetitia Waring was born in 1820 at Neath, Glamorganshire, South Wales, where she spent her whole life. She was the daughter of Elijah Waring and the niece of Samuel Miller Waring who also was a hymn writer. She was a shy and sensitive author. Her hymns contain what is in her heart but of her life and education there is little known. Anna apparently suffered greatly in her life as she expresses this thought in a hymn :

“Who could suffer pain like mine to be consoled like me? ”

Her hymns were first introduced into America by a minister named F. D. Huntington in 1863.

Early in her life, she was brought up among the Quakers but later she was by choice an Anglican and identified herself with the Church of England. Anna wrote hymns when she was an adolescent and completed 39 of them by 1863.

Ms. Anna Waring studied Hebrew in order to read the Old Testament in its original form. Her merry and gentle spirit motivated her to work for the “Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society”.

She lived to be ninety years old and was a blessing to all who knew her. Her poems and hymns were well loved by many. She went to be with the Lord in 1910.

Hymnal. net contains another one of her hymns. It is not numbered but one can type the first line or her name to search it.

“Father I know that all my life is portioned out for me.
And the changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see.
But I ask Thee for a present mind intent on pleasing Thee. ”

It is in the category of new hymns (that have been recently added).
