THE PARISH PSALTER WITH CHANTS THE PSALMS OF DAVID POINTED FOR CHANTING AND SET TO CHANTS FROM THE ST. NICOLAS CHANT BOOK BY SYDNEY H. NICHOLSON PUBLISHED IN LONDON BY THE FAITH PRESS, LTD., AT THE FAITH HOUSE, 7 TUFTON STREET, . . WESTMINSTER, S.W.1.First published, January, 1952 Reprinted, July, 1936. Reprinted, October, 1940. Reprinted, April, 1913. Made and printed in Great Britain,GENERAL PRINCIPLES. ‘THe: purpose of this Psalter is to secure the proper emphasis and rhythm of the words by the simplest mearis. ‘The success of the method depends upon the intelligence and thought of the singers rather than on a multiplicity of signs. Psalms should frequently be read through by the singers in order to secure unanimity in rhythm, before the music is added. : RULES. 1. Every word must be pronounced clearly and with natural emphasis, as in deliberate reading. 2. The length and accentuation of each note (or chord) in the chant must be governed entirely by the words, and not vice versa. 3. The final syllable “-ed” should only be pronounced separately where this is indicated by means of a hyphen. The one exception is the word “ blessed,” which is always to be pronounced as two syllables. 4. Breath is to be taken at commas. SIGNS USED IN POINTING. 1. The “bar-mark” *, This corresponds with the bar-lines in the chant, and indicates which syllables are to be sung to each note (or chord) (a.) Where there is one syllable in a bar, two notes of the chant are sung to it, and generally speaking they should be sung quickly, the main emphasis being on the first note. (See Venite vs. 3a, ete.) (b.) Where there are two syllables in a bar, they are allotted to the two notes. (See Venite vss. 1b, ete.) (c.) Where there are three or more syllables in a bar, the first note (or chord) is repeated as many times as necessary, the last syllable only being sung to the second note (or chord). (See Venite vss. 1a, 2a, 3b, etc.) This is the general rule; in exceptional cases the syllables to be sung to the first note (or chord) are divided from those to be sung to the second note (or chord) by an inverted dot. (See Venite vss. 4a, Ila.) (d.)_ Where there is a dotted note followed by a crotchet in the recitation, the crotchet will be sung to the last syllable before the “bar-mark”; but if this syllable bears a verbal stress the principal note must be sung to it as well, the crotchet being sung very lightly, or even omitted altogether. Where crotchets occur in other parts of the chant they are grouped with theminims of which they are subdivisions, and the group is subject to the same rule: ply to the plain chords: where such groups occur on unaccented syllable: they must, of course, be sung lightly and quickly .¢ “ single-phrase” sign *. Normally, the colon dividing the verse cor responds with the double bar in the chant, but sometimes a far smoother effect is obtained if the whole chant is treated as a single phrase of seven bars, instead of two phrases of three and four bars respectively. In such cases, the break at the double bar is cancelled, and the whole verse is sung straight through. ‘The verses where such special treatment is recommended are given in full at the foot of the page : but the notation must only be regarded as approximate, and anything like strict time ” is to be avoided here, as elsewhere. 3. The “ half-chant ” sign, 14. This is employed in a few cases only (e.g. Psalm xv. vs.7). In these cases the chant is commenced at the double bar. ‘This device is only practicable with single chants. 4. "The grouping of the verses follows that in the Prayer Book in all the psalms except Ps. xviii, vs. 1, lxxxix. vs. 50, and civ. vs. 35, where a simple sub-division obviously improves the sense, In all the above cases of special treatment an alternative is provided in a foot note, for use if preferred. 5. ‘The usual grouping of verses in certain of the Canticles (especially the Te Deum) has been modified in order to make them suitable to ordinary chants. 6. Three Psalms (ci., exv, and exlviii,) are provided with special chants having short endings, in order to secure greater smoothness, But as an alternative they are also given with ordinary chants and normal pointing. THE CHANTS. 1. The collection contains practically no new chants; the choice has been confined to those that have proved their suitability by long use. 2. In the few cases where chants with a reciting note higher than C have been included, an alternative chant is given. 3. Ina few special cases “ descants ” are given, but the use of these 1s entirely optional 4. As no collection can include all the chants that individual users may wish for, blank pages have been included where additional chants may be added. Royalties arising from the sale of The Parish Psalter and The St. Nicolas Chant Book are vested in the School of English Church Music. Permission for chants by the late Dr. E. J. Hopkins has been granted by A. Weekes & Co., Ltd., on behalf of the executors. The Chants by Ouseley, printed as Nos. 82, 147 and 168 in this Collection, are the copyright of Novello & Co., Limited, and they are here printed by their permission. S.HLN.
