[ndex of Composers 215 PREFACE. Notwithstanding the large number of English Psalters set to Anglican Chants which are now before the public, the present work is really an attempt to supply a desideratum. During late years a taste for sound Church music has spread very widely throughout the Anglican Churches. The works of our early Church composers have been increasingly appreciated, and Chant Tunes upon their models have been multiplied, until a collection has been found, which, for richness, for variety, and for power of devotional expression, is unsurpassed in any part of Christendom. The Editor of the Anglican Psalter has endeavoured to utilise this large body of material. Limiting himself to compositions of strictly Ecclesiastical character, he has adapted four different series of chants to each group of the Psalms in their daily course, the selection being made with the most careful regard to the sentiment of each Psalm. These series are numbered i, 2, 3, and 4, and are set respectively in the same or allied keys, to ensure easy transition. Those in the upper line, Nos. 1 and 2, have been selected as intrinsically the most appropriate to the spirit of the Psalm to which they are appropriated. Series 3 are jubilant in character, and are therefore adapted to festival seasons. The fourth series are plaintive, and suited for more triste or penitential occasions. In no case is the same melody used to more than one group of Psalms throughout the same course. By this means a variety and freshness have been aimed at which have not hitherto been attained. In selecting the chants, care has been taken to avoid those with too high a reciting note. A melody has also been selected for the Venite for each morning in the month, having special regard to the character of the Psalms which it precedes. The Proper Psalms, with their music, are printed again at large at the end of the book. viii • PREFACE. That this work may be more generally useful to the Church, provision is made for those verses of the Te Deum in which the American version differs from our own. Simultaneously with the spread of a sounder taste in Ecclesiastical melody, has been developed the means of producing printed music at a price within the reach of all, even the poorest worshippers. In the production of the Anglican Psalter these opportunities have been fully used, and it is accordingly issued at an unprecedentedly low price. The system of pointing here adopted is one which the Editor believes to be grounded upon true principles ; its essential plan being to appor- tion, so far as is consistent with correct English accent, one syllable to each musical beat, and to avoid a dissyllable for the final note of both mediation and cadence.* Thus, wherever either of these has the penul- timate or ante-penultimate accent in its last word, the two, or three, final syllables have been spread over the last two measures, instead of appropriating them to the last measure only. For example : — (Penultimate Accent.) (Ante-penultimate Accent.) {-r- i_ i a,j r u/* r ^ I That we should be s&ved from For behold from hence-forth : j Qur ^. ne . mies . T , A , ,•• . . j And to remember His ho*-ly In glory eVer-last-ing. ( co-ve-nant. INSTEAD OF— f rA , . *, j r , r ±u i That we should be saved fro*m For behold from henceforth : I ur enemies . ) i ,, , ... 1 And to .remember His ho-ly ( In gld-ry ev-er-lastmg. { covenant. By no other means can a smooth and pleasant method of English chanting be obtained. What, for instance, can be more objectionable and unmusical than to hear words of from two to five or six syllables jumbled together upon one final note, such as " wilderness," " taber- nacle," " uncharitableness ?" In Gregorian chanting, by the varying lengths of the musical cadences, and the alternative notes of some of the Mediations, these difficulties are easily disposed of ; but, owing to the inflexible nature of the Anglican Chant, commonly so- ■ It has been found absolutely necessary in a few instances to treat the following words as monosyllables when occurring as the finals of either Mediation or Cadence :— " Doer," "doers," "doest," "doing," "going," "goings," "heaven," "heaveRS," "iron," "liars," " Peor," "power," " prayer." j PREFACE. ix called, another mode of treatment must be used to ensure smoothness ; and that here adopted seems to meet all requirements. Some seven or eight years ago the Editor published in his Matin and Vesper Canticles of Holy Church, a chant of new form, having an alternative note in the Mediation, to suit final words of more than one syllable (which form has lately been adopted in the recently published Psalter, Ancient and Modern); but it has been rejected here on account of the impossibility of combining both forms with the system of pointing advocated above. The pointing marks are those which the Editor has used in his other Church works, in preference to the division of the words by change of type, or by bars, which are found to induce a habit of "jibbing 5 ' at the first word after the recitation ; a practice fatal to good chanting. The Editors best thanks are due to those gentlemen whose names are attached to their respective chants, for the use of their composi- tions ; also to the Rev: T. Helmore and Mr. Masters, for that in F by the late W. Dyce ; to Messrs. Novello, for Mr. J. Barnby*s Chants in D and E, for two others by Mr. Turle, from the West- minster Chant Book, and for the two Chants by Dr. Stainer, Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral ; to Mr. Blakeley for his Chants from the Canticle Chant Book ; to Mr. Joule for those from his Collection ; and to the Lord Bishop of Lincoln for his Table of the Proper Psalms for Special Occasions. Brentwood, Trinity, 1878. Non vox, sed votum ; non musica chordula, sed cor, Non damans, sed amans, psallit in aure Dei. EXPLANATION OF THE MARKS. i. ( A ) The Circumflex implies a slight emphasis on the word or syllable so marked, before leaving the reciting note, except when it is on a word of one syllable which takes also the acute accent {e.g. verses 7, 8, 9, of Te Dettm, p. 4, prafse Thee ; also Ps. xix. 15) ; or the first syllable of a word having the acute accent on the second (e.g. verses 4 and 26 of Te Deum, pp. 4, 5, contfn-ual-ly ; vouchsafe ; also Ps. civ. 23, until) ; in these cases it is simply a guide to the accented syllable. See also Ps. Hi. $ ; Ps. lxxxvi. 10. 2. (') The Acute Accent corresponds with the first minim, or beat, in the chant after the reciting note. 3- (")> C)i or C) The Dot or Dots after the Acute Accent, or Dots only, indicate a corresponding number of beats in either the Mediation or Cadence ; the accent itself being reckoned as one beat. Thus : — The Father : The C(5m-fort-er. Eschew evil and d6 good. (Ps. xxxiv. 14.) 4. O Two syllables, or short words, joined by a Tie, are to be sung to one beat ; or to two short notes of the value of one beat. Thus : — Unto whom I swa*re in^My wrath. (Venite.) And gfveth light un-to^the eyes. (Ps. xix. 8.) The heavens declare the gk5-ry°of God. (Ps. xix. 1.) 5. (-) Syllables separated by a Hyphen are to be sung to separate notes. Thus : — Lord G(5d of Sa-ba-oth. (Te Deum.) Th6y will be al-way prais-ing Thee. (Ps. lxxxiv. 4.) All complete words, whether of one or more syllables, in either the Mediation or Cadence, are to be sung to separate notes. Thus : — For His Name only is excellent,* and Hfs prafse above heaven and earth. (Ps. cxlviii. 12.) N.B. — Portions of words like -tion, -tient, -iour, -nion, -ower, &c, are treated as one syllable. 6. (*) The Asterisk marks the breathing places : all other punctua- tion marks in the Recitation may be disregarded. 7. Can. (Cantons), or the Precentor's, is the Gospel, or north side of the choir. Dec. (Decani), or the Dean's, is the Epistle, or south side. The Cantoris should sing the uneven, the Decani the even verses. Full y signifies that both sides of the choir are to sing together, not necessarily y, or^ Any mark of expression,/,/, ;;//", &c, continues its influence until contradicted, whether markedy*/^//or not. (See vv. 7, 8, 9, of Te Deum.) TABLE OF PROPER PSALMS. The first verse of a Psalm, and the Gloria Pafri, should always be sung full ; the latter slightly rallentando towards the close. Changeable Chants (Major and Minor), are always to be used as they stand, unless notice to the contrary be given in the margin, as No. 2, Psalm ^o. This continues until contradicted. *** The Psalms at Mattins and Evensong should not be separated from the Venite, or the Response, " The Lord's Name be praised," by any announcement whatever. [People ought to know the Day of the Month, and whether it is Morning or Evening, before they enter the church.] In the cases of those Feasts, Fasts, or Services, for which special Psalms are, or may be, appointed, notice to that effect should be placed at the entrance to the church Tor the information of the Laity, so that the music of the Office may be continuous and uninter- rupted.

Good-Friday. 4 They that hate me without a cause * are m6re than the hairs of^my head : they that are mine enemies,-* and would destr6y me gu'lt-less, r are migh-ty. 5 I paid them the thfhgs that I ne'-ver took : God, Thou knowest my simpleness,* and my faults are^ not hid from Thee. m/6 Let not them that trust in Th^e, O Lord God of Hosts,* be ashamed for my cause : let not those that seek Thee be confounded through me, O Ltfrd God'of Is- ra-ei. 7 And why ? * for Thy sake have I suf-fered ^re-proof : shame hath co*-vered my face. 8 I am become a stranger unto Bay breth-ren : even an alien (into my mouther's chVl-dren. 9 For the zeal of Thine house hath Sven e*at-en me : and the rebukes of them that rebuked Thee are faTlen upon me. 10 I wept,* and chastened myself with fast-ing : and that was turn-ed^ I to my re-proof. 1 1 I put on sackcloth al-so : and they je*st-ed upon me. 1 2 They that sit in the gate speak against me : and the drunkards make songs up-*6n me. p 13 But, Lord,* I mike my prayer unto Thee : fn a*n ac-cept-able time. 14 Hear me, O God, * in the multitude of Thy mer-cy : even in the trfith of Thy sal-va-tion. 15 Take me out of the mire, that I sfnk not : O let me be delivered from them that hate me,* and out of the deep wa-ters. 16 Let not the water-flood drown me,* neither let the deep swallow me up : and let not the pit shut her mduth up-on me. 17 Hear me, O Lord,* for Thy loving-kindness is co*m-forta-ble : turn Thee unto me* according to the multitude 6*f Thy mer-cies. 18 And hide ngt Thy face from Thy servant,* for I am in trou-ble : O ha'ste Thee,^and hear me. 19 Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it : O deliver me, because oP mine e-ne-mies. mp 10 Thou hast known my re- proof, * my shame, and my disho- nour : mine adversaries are all in Thy sight. ft 2 1 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart ;* I am flail of he'a-vi-ness : I looked for some to have pity on me,* but there was no man,* neither found I a*ny to com-fort me. 22 They give me ga*ll to eat : and when I was thirsty* they gave me vfn-e-gar to drink. mp 23 Let their table.be made a snare to tike themselves with-al : and let the things that should have been for their wealth * be unto th6m an occa'-sion^of fall-ing. 24 Let their eyes be blfhded, that they s€e not : and $ver bdw Thou down their backs. 25 Pour out Thine indignation upon them : and let Thy wrathful disple'a-sure^take hold of them. 26 Let their habitation be void : and n6 man to dw€ll in their tents. 27 For they persecute him whom Th6u hast sirnt-ten : and they talk how they may vex th6m whom Thtfu hast wound-ed. 28 Let them fall from one wicked- ness to ano-ther : and not come fn-to~Thy right-eous-ness. 29 Let them be wiped out of the b6ok of the lf-ving : and not be written among the right-eous. 30 As for me,* when I am p6or and in he'a-vi-ness : Thy help, O Go*d, shall lift me up. / 31 I will praise the Name of G(5d with~a song : and magnify it wfth thanks-giv-ing. 32 This Also shall please the Lord : better than a bfillock tha*t hath horns and hoofs. 211 [33 The Good-Friday.] THE PSALTER.

Domine Deus. 2. * VV. W. Brown. mpr\ LORD GOD of my salva- VJ tion, * I have cried day and nfght before Thee : O let my prayer enter into Thy presence,* incline Thine 6ar ifn-to^my call-ing. p 2 For my soul is full of trou-ble : and my life draweth nigh un-to hell. 3 I am counted as one of them that go down fn-to^the pit : and I have been 6ven as a man that hath no strength. 4 Free among the dead, * like unto them that are w6unded,and lfe in^the grave : who are out of remembrance,* and are cut away from Thy hand. 5 Thou hast laid me in the low-est pit : in a place of dark-ness,^and in the deep. 6 Thine indignation lieth hard up6*n me : and Thou hast v6xed me' with all Thy storms. 7 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me : and made me to b£ abhoV-red of them. 8 I am so fSst in prf-son : th&t I ca*n-not get forth. 9 My sight faileth for very trou- ble : Lord, I have called daily upon Thee,-* I have stretched forth my hands un-to Thee. 7nf \o Dost Thou shew winders among the dead : or shall the dead rise up again, and praise Thee ? 1 1 Shall Thy loving-kindness be shewed in the grave : or Thy faith- fulness fn de-struc-tion? 12 Shall Thy wondrous works be kn<5wn in^the dark : and thy right- eousness in the land where all things a*re for-got-ten ? 13 Unto Th£e have I cried, O Lord : and early shall my prayer ccmie be-fore Thee. p 14 Lord, why abh Arrest Thcai my soul : and hldest Thou Thy face from me ? 1 5 I am in misery,* and like unto him that fs at the pofnt to die : even from my youth up * Thy terrors have I suffered with a trou-bled mind. 16 Thy wrathful displeasure gcteth ov-er me : and the f£ar of The'e hath~ un-done me. 17 They came round about me daily like wa*-ter : and compassed me toge*-ther~on eve-ry side. 18 My lovers and friends hast Thou put awa*y from me : and hid mine acquain-tance out ofmy sight.

The Canticles newly adapted to the Old Church Tones, with the occasional introduction of Choral Harmony. Uniform with the "Gregorian Psalter." *** This most comprehensive adaptation of the Gregorian Tones to the Canticles contains 127 melodies, some harmonized through- out, and each with harmonized Gloria. "The method adopted by Mr. Brown is simple, and will be easily learnt even by stupid choirfolk. Should this work be adopted in any choir, we believe it will be found all that is needful for some years to come. Uncertainty and change in choral matters are undesirable, especially for the congregation, therefore a work which supplies sufficient material for a long time is always to be preferred to a smaller work, merit being equal." — Church Times. " We have before us a manual which deserves to be known and used wherever the Ancient Catholic Tones are honoured and ap- preciated." — Reunion Magazine. "This neat and well got-up volume, the orthodox look of which must gladden the heart of our High Church friends. We have no hesitation in recommending the work to all who admire the chants of the old Christian Church." — Musical Gazette. Fcap. %vo., cloth, red edges, is. 6d., or post free, 2s. gd.

Brown's name is already so well and so favour- ably known in connection with Gregorian music, that his new 'Gregorian Psalter ' will be sure of a welcome reception from many choirs. It includes the entire Psalter, with a suitable Venite for each morning, and special settings for the proper Psalms on the four i^reat festivals. Its peculiarity among Gregorian Psalters is that it introduces suitable Harmonies occasionally in the course of the Psalms and at the Gloria. There will, no doubt, be great difference of opinion about this ; for our own part, we think well of it ; and Mr. A. H. Brown's well-earned reputation is a guarantee to the clergy that he will involve them in no rash or ill-considered experi- ment. Our own feeling has always been that at least occasional harmony was a necessary concession to modern ears, in order to give Gregorian music a fair chance of success. We don't see how it can be better done than it is here." — Literary Churchman. " A contribution of real value to Church music." — Church Times. III.

Of the in Chant Tunes here given, three only are as in " Helmore," to which this work will serve as a Supplement. " In those churches in which the use of Gregorian chants prevails, this little book ought to be greatly valued. The settings include some elegant variations from the Paris, Rouen, Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), and other methods. The words are neatly pointed, and the genius of plain-song is happily preserved." — The Choir. " This is a collection of Church Chants which it would contribute to impart a devotional spirit to many a Church congregation to have in use, rather than those undevotional and unsuitable ones that now so greatly prevail. They are emphatically Church tones — the legitimate and characteristic Canticle music of the Church ; and no thoughtful and devout Churchman who has ever been accustomed to such can tolerate, on account of their secular and general unsuit- ableness, the strangely popular modern Anglican chants. Mr. Brown has done good service to the musical ritualism of the Church of England in preparing a collection of this kind adapted to her Canticles. His high reputation as an orthodox Church musician is not only sustained, but will be extended by it." — Lite?-a?y Church- man. V.

"A series of organ harmonies on a scale of en cjclopaediac elaborateness. The object of this work is, of course, to assist organists who are diffident as to their extempore thorough-bass. If these will only conscientiously make themselves masters of what is here set down, they may depend not only on getting through their work respectably, but on being able to conciliate the public in favour of the ancient Psalm melodies." — Church Times. " It is difficult to supply gracious and pliable harmonies for the ancient modes, a difficulty occasioned by the modern scale system. Mr. A. H. Brown has, with characteristic good taste, pursued a medium course. His harmonies are mostly of a simple, quaint, and solid character. The book before us will be most useful. ' — Choir.

"This little book will be a real boon to choirs and lovers of music, whether at Church or at home. There are 165 chants of sterling character, none florid, more than half of which are the compositions of such well-known men of the genuine English school as Tall is, Purcell, Byrde, Weldon, Greene, &c, while the remainder are from the more modern pens (but not style) of Turle, Ouseley, Monk, Helmore, and the Editor himself. The whole is arranged in the most practical manner with reference to the words, which are very clearly and admirably pointed.
