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.

O God, our help in ages past

Experience of God As the Dwelling Place

English607
1
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

This song came to my mind as I did my devotion this morning. As I sang it, it brought back memories of years past and reminded me that my God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The God who delivered Daniel from the lions den, who delivered Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the fiery furnace, who took Joseph from the pit to the palace... He"s still the same God today! And will be forever! Hallelujah!

This hymn came to my mind as I set on the bus and a lot if memories flashed through my mind. This was a family hymn while I was growing up and the first hymn my family sang on the first day of every new year after the mud night watch. I remember my dad and mum ambassadors of Christ. God fearing parents and I pray may their souls continue to rest in perfect peace. This hymn comes it great emotions and has given me all reasons to thank God for past, the present and my future. With this hymn I have more assurance God is in total control of all about me and will keep me to the end while I depend totally upon Him.

This song came to me in a morning devotion and I sung for years before, but like I just got the revelation. God had been my help in the past and he will be in the future and my present help in trouble now until eternity.

Thank you Jesus, right now I am so secure under the shadow of his throne.

My prayers are, and have always been, that our nation would sing this hymn from their hearts. How much more now in this pandemic which has brought the world to a stand still. Perhaps the way God is speaking to the nations.

I had to go on the net now to search out and speak to myself with this hymn. I am in a place where people expect me to be downcast and they seem concerned with my seeming stable mind. I am not unmindful of the future, no. Just that I know God is my hope for years to come.
