OTWITHSTANDING the number of other Psalters pointed, this edition has been prepared to supply a book of good type, convenient size, and moderate price, and also as an attempt to combine the following objects,

1. That the pointing may be readily adapted to Chants either of Ancient or Modern type, with longer or shorter Mediation and Cadence.

2. To secure the principle, common to all known adaptation of words to music, and adopted by the Choral Union of the Canterbury Diocese, of regularly making one final syllable fall on the ultimate note.

3. To arrange that, wherever possible, the natural emphasis of the words should coincide with the emphatic notes of the Chant.

4. That such arrangement should still not be at a needless sacrifice of smoothness and precision of enunciation.

OBSERVATIONS.

The horizontal bar means that the syllable before it is to be sustained through whatever notes occur between itself and the syllables that complete the Mediation or Cadence.

In cases of Ancient Chants with short Mediation or Cadence, the pointing may be adapted by omitting the first bar where required.

PSALM 2 Quare fremuerunt gentes?
