3 The Gregorian Chant Notation Chant is written in neumes, which are notes sung on a single syllable. Gregorian Chant has no meter at all, though it does have a slight rhythm of groups of 2 or 3 notes. Vertical lines separate musical phrases and allow a pause for taking a breath, like Chant is not in a major key or a minor key, but in modes (though there are some modes which can sound like a modern scale). Chant is written on a 4 line staff, instead of 5 lines as music is written on now. marks where Do or C is on the staff. is a Fah Clef, and indicates where fah is on the staff. Here, Do would be on the bottom space. The Neumes Chant notation is on the left. The modern equivalent is on the right. Punctum This is just a single note Podatus (pes) When one note is written above another note like this, the bottom note is sung first, and then the note above it. Clivis (flexa) When the higher note comes first, it is written like this. Scandicus Three or more notes going upward. Climacus Three or more notes going downwards. 3

4 Torculus (pes flexus ) Three notes that go up and then back down. Porrectus (flexus resupinus) A high note, a low note, and a high note. The line starts at the first note and goes down to the middle note. Porrectus flexus A porrectus with a low note on the end. Epiphonus (liquescent podatus) Little notes lose some of their fullness because they are sung on a complicated syllable. Cephalicus (liquescent flexa) In liquescent neumes like that look like this. The top note comes before the bottom note! Quilisma This is marked by a jagged line in the middle. The first note is held a little longer than the middle one. Punctum mora This note holds the duration that is something like the dotted note in modern music. The second way of showing that a note is held is by having more than one of the same note in a row on the same syllable. This is called a repurcussive neume. A horizontal line (episema) above a neume means to hold the note, or slow down like rit. in modern music. A vertical line (episema) written under a note means it has a mild emphasis, like an accent mark. 4

5 There is one accidental that may be used in Chant notation, it is the B flat, which does look a lot like the modern B flat. Sometimes the flat sign can be written at the beginning instead of in front of the note, and then it's like a key signature. Otherwise, it only lasts for one word. At the end of a line of chant, a little, skinny note (custos) is written to show what note is coming up next in the following line. Salve Regina 5

6 Pater Noster 6

7 Ave Maria 7

8 O Salutaris Hostia 1. O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below! Our foes press on from every side: Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow: 2. To Thy great name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead, one in three! Oh, grant us endless length of days In our true native land with Thee. 8

9 Pange Lingua 1. Pange, língua, gloriósi Córporis mystérium Sanguinísque pretiósi, Quem in múndi prétium Frúctus véntris generósi Rex effúdit géntium. 2. Nóbis dátus, nóbis nátus Ex intácta vírgine, Et in mundo conversátus Sparso vérbi sémine, Súi móras incolátus Míro cláusit órdine. 3. In suprémæ nócte cœnæ Recúmbens cum frátribus, Observáta lége pléne Cibis in legálibus, Cíbum túrbæ duodénæ Se dat súis mánibus. 4. Vérbum cáro pánem vérum Vérbo cárnem éfficit: Fítque sánguis Chrísti mérum, Et si sénsus déficit, Ad firmándum cor sincérum 9 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory, / Of His Flesh the mystery sing; / Of His blood, all price exceeding, / Shed by our immortal King, / Destined for the world's redemption, / From a noble womb to spring. Of a pure and spotless Virgin, / Born for us on earth below, / He, as Man with man conversing, / Stayed the seeds of trugh to sow. / Then He closed in Solemn order / Wondrously His life woe. On the night of that last supper, / Seated with His chosen band, / He, the Paschal Victim eating, / First fulfils the Law's command; / Then as food to all His brethren / Gives Himself with His own Hand. Word made Flesh, the bread of nature, / By His Word to Flesh He turns; / Wine into His Blood He changes : / What though sense no change discerns? / Only be the heart in earnest, / Faith her lesson quickly learns.

10 Sóla fídes súfficit. 5. Tántum ergo Sacraméntum Venerémur cérnui. Et antíquum documéntum Nóvo cédat rítui: Præstet fídes suppleméntum Sénsuum deféctui. 6. Genitóri Genitóque Laus et jubilátio Sálus, hónor, vírtus quóque Sit et benedíctio: Procedénti ab utróque Cómpar sit laudátio. Down in adoration falling, / Lo! the sacred Host we hail, / Lo! o'er ancient forms departing / Newer rites of grace prevail; / Faith for all defects supplying, / Where the feeble sense fail. To the everlasting Father, / And the Son who reigns on high / With the Holy Ghost proceeding / Forth from each eternally, / Be salvation, honour, blessing, / Might and endless majesty. Adoro Te Devote Adóro te devóte, látens Déitas, Quæ sub his figúris vere látitas, Tíbi se cor méum tótum súbjicit, Quia Te contémplans tótum déficit. Vísus, táctus, gústus in te fállitur, Sed audítu sólo túto créditur: Crédo quídquid díxit Déi Fílius: Nil hoc vérbo Veritátis vérius. O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee, Who truly art within the forms before me; To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee, As failing quite in contemplating Thee. Sight, touch, and taste in Thee are deceived; The ear alone most safely is believed. I believe all the Son of God has spoken: Than Truth's own word, there is no truer token. 10

11 In crúce latébat sóla Déitas, At hic látet simul et humánitas: Ambo tamen crédens atque cónfitens, Péto quod petívit látro paénitens Plágas, sicut Thómas, non intúeor: Déum tamen méum te confíteor: Fac me tíbi semper mágis crédere, In te spem habére, te dilígere. O memoriále mórtis Dómini! Pánis vívus vítam praéstans hómini! Praésta méæ ménti de te vívere, Et te ílli semper dúlce sápere. Píe pellicáne, Jésu Dómine! Me immúndum múnda túo Sánguine: Cújus úna stílla sálvum fácere Tótum múndum quit ab ómni scélere. Jésu, quem velátum nunc aspício, Oro fíat íllud quod tam sítio, Ut Te reveláta cérnens fácie, Vísu sim beátus túæ glóriæ. God only on the Cross lay hid from view, But here lies hid at once the manhood too: And I, in both professing my believe, Make the same prayer as the repentant thief. Thy wounds, as Thomas saw, I do not see; Yet Thee confess my Lord and God to be. Make me believe Thee ever more and more, In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store. O Thou, memorial of our Lord's own dying! O living bread, to mortals life supplying! Make my soul henceforth on Thee to live; Ever a taste of heavenly sweetness give. O loving Pelican! O Jesus Lord! Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood: Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt, Can purge the entire world from all its guilt. Jesus! whom for the present veiled I see, What I so thirst for, oh, vouchsafe to me: That I may see Thy countenance unfolding, And may be blest Thy glory in beholding. Veni Creator Spiritus Veni Creátor Spíritus, Méntes tuórum vísita: Imple supérna grátia, Quæ tu creásti péctora. Come, Holy Spirit, Creator come, From Thy bright heavenly throne! Come, take possession of our souls, And make them all Thine own! 11

12 Qui díceris Paráclitus, Altíssimi dónum Déi, Fons vivus, ignis, cáritas, Et spiritális únctio. Tu septifórmis múnere, Dígitus Patérnæ déxteræ, Tu rite promíssum Pátris, Sermóne ditans gúttura. Accénde lúmen sénsibus, Infúnde amórem córdibus, Infírma nóstri córporis Virtúte fírmans pérpeti. Hóstem repéllas lóngius, Pacémque dónes prótinus: Ductóre sic te prævio, Vitémus ómne nóxium. Per te sciámus da Pátrem, Noscámus atque Fílium, Téque utriúsque Spíritum Credámus ómni témpore. Déo Pátri sit glória, Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis Surréxit, ac Paráclito, In sæculórum sæcula. Amen. Thou who art called the Paraclete, Best Gift of God above, The Living Spring, the Living Fire, Sweet Unction, and True Love! Thou who art seven fold in Thy grace, Finger of God's right Hand, His promise, teaching little ones To speak and understand! O guide our minds with Thy blest light, With love our hearts inflame, And with Thy strength which ne'er decays Confirm our mortal frame. Far from us drive our hellish foe, True peace unto us bring, And through all perils guide us safe Beneath Thy sacred wing. Through Thee may we the Father know, Through Thee the Eternal Son, And Thee the Spirit of them Both Thrice blessed Three in One. All glory to the Father be, And to the risen Son; The same to Thee, O Paraclete, While endless ages run. Amen. 12
