APPENDIX

UNDER THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE GENERAL CONVENTION, IN BALTIMORE, OCTOBER, 1892:

Resolved. That a Commission be constituted with power to make a pointing for music of the GLORIA PATRI, the CANTICLES OF MORNING PRAYER, including TE DEUM LAUDAMUS, and BENEDICITE, OMNIA OPERA DOMINI, and the CANTICLES OF EVENING PRAYER, together with the ANTHEMS FOR EASTER DAY and THANKSGIVING DAY, and to print the same in the Hymnal as an Appendix.

[Attest.] CHARLES L. HUTCHINS,

Secretary of the House of Deputies.

THE MORNING AND EVENING

CANTICLES

AND

OCCASIONAL ANTHEMS

POINTED FOR CHANTING BY THE COMMISSION ACTING UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION.

JH. A. NEELY, Chairman.

ATTEST. CHAS. L. HUTCHINS, Secretary.

N putting forth this pointing of the Canticles, etc.,

Convention, the Commission would call attention to the great importance and practical usefulness of the following suggestions taken from the preface to the "Cathedral Psalter:"

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. If there is no syllable after that which is accented, the accented syllable must be held for one whole bar or

measure.

4. An asterisk (*) is a direction to take breath. stops (, ) must be attended to as in good reading.

Other

5. 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.
