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.

Conquering now and still to conquer

Spiritual Warfare By Faithfulness

English878
1
Conquering now and still to conquer,
Rideth a King in His might,
Leading the host of all the faithful
Into the midst of the fight;
See them with courage advancing,
Clad in their brilliant array,
Shouting the name of their Leader,
Hear them exultingly say:
 
Not to the strong is the battle,
Not to the swift is the race;
Yet to the true and the faithful
Vict’ry is promised through grace.
2
Conquering now and still to conquer,
Who is this wonderful King?
Whence are the armies which He leadeth
While of His glory they sing?
He is our Lord and Redeemer,
Savior and Monarch divine;
They are the stars that forever
Bright in His kingdom will shine.
3
Conquering now and still to conquer,
Jesus, Thou Ruler of all,
Thrones and their scepters all shall perish,
Crowns and their splendor shall fall,
Yet shall the armies Thou leadest
Faithful and true to the last,
Find in Thy kingdom eternal
Rest, when their warfare is past.

“Not to the strong is the battle not to the swift is the race”.

This hymn says 2 things to me.

Firstly we must see the obvious that the Christian’s life is a race and this race is a battle. If we wish to run the race to win the prize, we must be faithful and true. The real battle is just prayer.

Secondly, we must see we can’t win. We’re a failure at our best. The victory is by faith in Christ Jesus. He is the conquering King. He is that GRACE we must experience. I love this because it takes the load off of me and puts it on Christ. When I can finally admit I’m a failure, that’s when Christ can rule and be the victory in our life. That is true grace!

In Brazil, they adapted this melody with different lyrics.
With faith, draw near to the great Master
Christ Jesus, the Lord
His heavenly gifts, His virtue
He will pour out for love
Do not doubt, for from Christ
Comes what you need
He can do everything for you
Beyond what you imagine.
The raging sea and the storm
Christ Jesus calmed
The blind saw, the lame walked, He cleansed many
The dead came back to life, were delivered to their own
Christ, the eternal Word, came by the grace of God.
If you knock, He will open to you
Whatever you ask, He will give
If you seek the Master
You will be found.

A favourite hymn and a powerful description of Gods army. They fought not with assault weapons and armery but the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.

Conquering their evil foes with the Love and Grace of the Almighty.

Who is this wonderful King? Whence are the armies which He lead while of His glory they sing?

Thanks very much for this hymn. I love it so much. Reminds me of the baptist church in Athlone, Cape Town, South Africa. When I was around nine and ten years, in my imagination I saw these soldiers marching with banners flying. LOL. Now 76 years old and I still have this feeling of heads held high and matching into battle. God bless. May we take back the land taken by the enemy. Hallelujah! Amen.
