principles in view

That

single or double Chants should be used according to the character and construction of each Psalm. See Psalms xv. (single) xxiv. (double). (2) That the construction of each Psalm should as far as possible govern the antiphonal arrangement e.g., if the parallel or antithesis occurs between the two halves of one verse, each half should be assigned to Cantoris and Decani respectively. See Psalms xv. xix. 1. xc. (3) That the variations of subject or sentiment in each Psalm should be marked by a change of Chant. See Psalms xviii. Ixxviii. Should there be any difficulty in following the antiphonal marks (Dec. and Can.) as they stand, they can be simplified under the direction of the Choirmaster without injury to the general arrangement of the Chants. (i)

;

1. The Words, from the commencement of each verse and half- verse up to the accented syllable, are called the Recitation. 2. On reaching the accented syllable, and beginning with it, the music of the chant commences, in strict time (a tempo), the upright strokes corresponding to the bars. The Recitation must therefore be considered as outside the chant, and may be of any length. The note on which the Recitation is made is called the Reciting

note. 3.

It is of the utmost importance that no break or pause should occur between but the the Recitation and Accent. The words should be deliberately recited reciting note must not be held any longer than is absolutely necessary for this. Hence in some verses the reciting note will be only equal to a very short musical ;

trouble.

As the accent holds the position of the first beat of the first bar, it is unnecessary to sing it louder than any of the words recited : its position, musically, will give it quite enough emphasis. 12. A dot is placed between words or syllables belonging to the second bar of the music, when their division would otherwise be doubtful, e.g.
