THIS little book was projected for the use of the Choir in which the Editor is interested, but at the request of others a small edition is printed for general use. The pointing of the Canticles and Psalms is generally (though not uniformly) like that in Mr. Arthur Henry Brown's Psalter ; but the mode adopted for indicating the division of the words is more like that of the " Ferial Psalter," which is followed in the Book of Chants published under authority of the Synod of this Diocese. A sufficient number of Chants to provide all needed variety is given in the Table. Those desiring a still larger choice would do well to obtain Mr. A. H. Brown's '• Table of Gregorian Tones " (price 6d.), which contains one hundred and sixteen varieties. The same author's Book of Harmonies is also recom- mended. As far as possible the numbers of the Endings in this book are made uniform with those in the " Accompanying Har- monies," although the order is more or less arbitrary. It is suggested that wherever this Psalter is introduced an effort be made to bring it into use in the Congregation as well as in the Choir, in order to promote congregational singing. Only a small edition will be printed, and as the work has been done solely to promote the revival of the ancient plain-song of the Church, copies will be sold at the lowest price which will cover the cost incurred. J. H. P. Toronto, October, 1888. if i 4 EXPLANATIONS. For full information as to the Gregorian Chant, choirmasters are referred to the Psalter edited by Messrs. Doran and Notting- ham, or that of Mr. Arthur Henry Brown. The following brief directions must suffice here. Tone I. A. RECITING RF.CITING INTONATION. NOTE. MEDIATION. NOTE. CADENCE. ICZ I^Z t=^=^ t ^--S-^-- :zt22t-.i^ n^ZIC?! The Intonation is sung to the first word or words of each Psalm, of the Gloria Patri, and of each verse of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. The words to which it belongs are indicated by the mark : . The last note of the intonation is sometimes joined to the reciting note by a slur, which is indicated in the pointing thus: "Lord \ — The words preceding the bar | in each half verse are sung to their respective reciting notes. Occasionally, in a short verse, the word sung to the reciting note is also sung to the first not'" of the Mediation or Cadence. This is indicated by a dash following the bar, thus, " In | — a strange land,^^ (Ps. cxxxvii. 4). To obviate unnecessary pauses only such commas as should be observed by the choir are retained. Syllables or words con- taining the circumflex {^) are to be sung with a slight emphasis (not necessarily a pause), and from the emphasized word to the accented word following the bar, there should be no break in the smooth flow of the recitation. Care as to the latter point is essential to good chanting. The first note of the Mediation or of the Cadence is sung to the first word or syllable following the bar | in each half of the verse respectively. Syllables separated by a hyphen (e.g. chil - dren) are sung to separate notes ; and complete words, printed without division, are also sung to separate notes. Words or syllables joined by a tie (^) are sung to the same note. 6 Expla>utions, Words or syllables printed in Italics, or having two dots (• •) over them, are sung to two notes. Three dots (•••) indicate three notes. Crochkts standing alone are usually passing notes, which fall naturally into their places in chanting. Two crochets slurred are, for the purposes of the pointing, counted as one note. It may happen that the two slurred notes correspond to two words or syllables joined by a tie (^), in which care each word is sung to a separate crochetc The semibreves are intended to be held lorger than the min- ims, but not uecessarily twice as long. Often :hey indicate only a stronger emphasis than is implied by the acr^nt. The dura- tion of the notes is governed almost entirely by the importance of the words to which they are sung. Particular attention must be paid to the Accents ('). If this is neglected, the rhythm is lost, and the chanting becomes dull and monotonous. In several of the tones ther'^^ is more than one form ot media- tion. These are printed with th endings for which they are suggested throughout the book, but speaking generally, any Mediation may he used with any ending belonging to the Tone. The pointing of whe Canticles and Psalms is specially suited to the chants suggested for them, but any others of similar form may be substituted. For convenience, lists of chants which may be sung to the same pointing, are appended. The variations m the pointing necessary to suit the several Mediations may be readily seen by glancing over the Table of Tones. There are only three varieties : and, of these, two (e.g. the pointing for the 4th and 7th Tone) are readily interchangeable with a little practice. The rule as to Media- tions with a variable note (such as Tone IV.) is to drop the last note of the Mediation when there is not a separate word or syllable for it, i.e. the last two notes of such Mediations should not be slurred. Among the Endings, those with four or five notes (or their equivalents) comprise about 60 out of the 84 chants given. The four-note cadence has tv/o accented and two unaccented notes, alternately , the cadence of five notes has three unaccented notes, two of which follow (a) the first or (b) the second accented note. i Explanations, All of these Endings may be sung to the same pointing, thus : VII. 3 -M i f rx ^-:^- :j: ■j-± ■s>' :s2: * « « in God -4- my Sa viour. VI. I. 23 ■Z±. :^^^- Z2: m God my, Sa viour. III. xo. H- :22, ^-- loi:. 12^: in God my Sa - viour. I. 21. i 1 1. in God my :^^^: Sa viour. ] The only art in adjusting the pointing to these chants lies in the due observance of the Accents. It is customary for the Precentor to "give out" each Can- ticle and P^^alm, by singing alone the first half of the first verse. The rest of the verse is usually sung by the full choir. The Psalms may be sung in several ways. — 1. By the opposite sides of the Choir singing each verse alternately. The Cantoris usually begin with the 2nd verse and sing the even verses, the Decani singing the uneven verses. (Cantorisz^North side of the Choir). 2. The antiphonal effect may be produced, generally much more satisfactorily, by the boys and men singing alternate verses. 3. The odd verses are sometimes sung by the Precentor alone throughout the psalm, and the even verses sung by the full choir. This is especially convenient when the choir is net strong. in any case the Gloria Patri is sung full. ( 8 ) LIST OF CHANTS WHICH MAY BE USED WITH THE SAME POINTING. GROUP I. I.

And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our pins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at His hands, to set forth His most worthy praise, to hear His most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to y;^^, ^ — Y(rj \ — accompany me with a pure ^^"j— 3 tzi^ heart, and humble voice, unto _^z: the throne of the heavenly grace,* saying af - ter me The Confession.
