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.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Spiritual Warfare By God as Fortress

English886
1
A mighty Fortress is our God,
A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4
That Word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

Praise God! What wonderful words! "Let goods and kindred go, ... The body they may kill also. God's truth abideth still" and will triumph through us. As we ponder these words how wonderful to know a living hope is there for us.

This is my favorite hymn!!! Can someone tell me what is this version? I saw 2 or 3 english versions and I found this more easy to learn.

The basis of the reformation was the "rediscovery" of two pillars of Christian faith, "solo scriptura", or Scripture alone and "solo fidei", by faith alone, which knocked the legs out of the Roman Church making him deeply unpopular. The hymn is a response to the plots and persecution that followed.

These words should be song with might and power as it is to me a song of the ages. This is the song that the saints of the ruler and creator of the heaven and the earth will be singing through persecution as it was so through the dark periods before. Saints of God, I am urging us to keep the faith, the end is fast approaching.

"...the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still..."

Like the grass that withers and the flower that fades, so shall we go the way of this earth and into eternity, but only to find the highest supremacy of His truth--TRUTH that exists with us, or without us.

This has become my battle cry as I fight so many challenges that I know evil is behind to hinder me in God's work. Get out of my way Satan. We win in the end.

When the 9 people were murdered during their Bible Study Class this week in Charleston, SC, I wrote a note and felt so helpless for words of comfort and then remembered this wonderful hymn and the words seemed so perfect to send to them. It's always been one of my favorites and I hope it will help bring healing to the loved ones of those murdered in Charleston.

My favorite song, sang it in 3 languages when I was growing up in rural Tanzania where the Lutheran church came to our village about 100 years ago. He has been my fortress till today in my 72nd year and will be so for eternity, Hallelujah. Thank You Lord for giving us Martin Luther who fourght for our faith in Jesus by Your Grace.

Very inspiring and indeed encouraging. Only a close walk with God can cause one to write thus. I gues this is what is absent today. Luther had no other help but God. Like Christ Luther had nowhere to lay his head.

In all the changing scenes of life, this hymn shows the matchless and wonderful love of God. Only eternity itself will demonstrate fully His mercy and grace through the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
