Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Chanting
The secret of their failure is to be found in the point from which all existing pointed Psalters start, viz., that, the chant being what it is, the words of the Psalms must be made to con form to it. 'the Anglican chant is a fact,' they say, and 'it is a melody of seven (or five) bars'; in other words, it'is a metrical tune, like a hymn tune, except as regards the reciting note and some deny even this exception.

An Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Chanting (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book revitalizes Anglican chanting by delving into the history, form, and rhythmic structure of the Psalms and Canticles. The author reveals that the prevailing system of chanting suppresses the natural flow of the words, imposing instead a rigid metrical structure. By integrating the principles of free rhythm and antiphony, this book provides a method of chanting that respects the unique character of the Psalms. It recovers the original elasticity of the chant, allowing greater freedom of expression and a truer representation of the text's emotional depth. The insights offered in this book will inspire a renewed appreciation for the beauty and power of Anglican chanting. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
