I. 1920 London : Roworth & Co. Ltd., Printers, 19, Newton Street, W.C. 2. PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION r I ^HROUGH the kind co-operation of the Rev. G. H. Palmer, Mus. Doc, the number of Hymn-tunes has been enlarged ; four additional melodies from the use of York (Sion Coll. London, MS. Arc. L. 40. 2) are now included ; two fresh ones from Barking (Trin. Coll. Camb., MS. O. 3. 54) more than fill the place of one that has disappeared ; and five more are taken from the books of Gisburn (Brit. Mus., Add. MSS. 35285), Peterborough (Magd. Coll. Camb., MS. F. 4. 10), and the Dominicans (Brit. Mus., MS. Add. 23935). The little collection of Sequences has also been increased by the addition of Landes Salvatori for Low Sunday and Missus Gabriel for the Feasts of our Lady. m its. t 817132 VI FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION (1896) This little book contains the whole of the Hymn-melodies included in the Sarum Antiphonal. together with some of the most valuable of those additional ones which are found in other old English Service- books. It may therefore be considered a representative collection of the best Plainsong melodies formerly in use in England. The MSS. by no means shew that uniformity of musical text which is so remarkable in the stricter and more elaborate Plainsong of the Gradual, for they seem to have been more subjected to the usual influences which cause variations in popular music. Considerable pains have been 'taken to find the best text of each melody, but, wherever possible, the Sarum form of melody has been adopted in preference to others, not merely because of the pre-eminence of the Sarum use, but also because on the whole the Sarum forms are intrinsically among the best. The earliest and most trustworthy authorities used are two MSS. in the Bodleian Library, viz., Laud Lat. 95* & Douce MS. 381, but use has been made from time to time of the neums in the Leofric Collectar (Brit. Mus. Harl. MS. 2961), and occasionally the readings in the later Sarum books have been adopted as being in themselves better than the earlier forms. The subject of Hymnody is treated at some length in The Elements of Plainsong. \ It must be remembered that the notes express no time- value whatever, and the movement of the melodies is governed entirely by the words, which in the case of hymns are of course metrical. The metre depends upon a regular succession of accents, not on the measured length of the syllables : this is the essence of a hymn, and therefore this regular succession of accents must not be disturbed by the music. The notes, in consequence, must be adjusted to the syllables, so that the metre always remains practically intact, whether there be one or two, or even more notes to a syllable. The simpler melodies easily adapt them- selves to this law, but the more florid melodies require a little study in order to obtain a correct idea of the phrasing. No system of notation can express exactly the rendering of an ordinary ballad as sung by a really competent artist ; and as a plainsong "See Bibliotheca Mus-Liturg. pi. 4. P. & M. M. S. (1904). fl'. & M. M. S. (1909). Vlj hymn should be sung with at least an equal freedom, it is under the same disadvantage, even when written in proper plainsong notation ; while modern notation can hardly fail to convey an impression of strict measured time, which is fatally misleading ; for to sing a plainsong melody like a modern measured tune is radically wrong. Great care is needed on the part of the singers, and still more on the part of the accompanist (if the hymns are accompanied), to keep the weak syllables quite light, and so to preserve the metrical freedom and balance. The normal accents in Long metre, to which most of the Hymns belong, fall uniformly on the second and sixth syllables of each line, e.g. O hix beata Trinitas, Et principalis Unitas, lam sol recedit igneus, Infiinde lumen cbrdibus. In Sapphic metre the accent falls on the first and sixth syllables in the long lines, and on the first and fourth syllables in the short line, e.g. Ecce iam noctis tenuatur umbra, Li'icis aurora ridilans coruscat, JVzsibus totis Dbminum canamus Ci'mctipoten tern . The Choriambic hymns, for musical purposes, might almost be reckoned as Iambic. Quantity is superseded by accent, as e.g. . UU _UL> U u Sane to | rum ineritis \ inclita gau \ dia is treated as if it were Sanctb \ rum me \ ritis \ incli \ ta gdu \ did Finally, it is to be noted that the music must as a general rule follow the words, not merely in their general obedience to the laws of metre, but even in their irregularities : e.g. a line such as Cbnditor alme siderum, or ' N6w that the daylight fills the sky,' which violates the strict metrical law, must be differently sung from a regular line, and must not be made to disguise its irregularity. It is on attention to small points and peculiarities such as these, that the attractiveness of plainsong hymns depends ; and it is this great adaptability, as well as the variety resulting from such treatment, which gives these melodies their unique Vllj and characteristic power of bringing out and emphasizing the meaning of the words. The Sequences are only a very small selection out of the great storehouse of mediaeval Graduals; most of them belonged to Sarum use. But in the collection, small as it is, there are representatives of the main great types. Salus etema, Epiphaniam, and Rex omnipotens represent the earliest form, in which words were first adapted to the long melodies sung on the last a of the word Alleluya. Victime paschali represents the same type ata later stage, and Laudes Deo a popular form of it, almost allied to a carol. In Letabundus we see the Sequence working itself out from being merely rhythmical, towards being strictly metrical ; in Laus devota mente the process is complete, and the Sequence has become frankly metrical ; Superne juatris represents the metrical Sequence in its highest form in the hands of Adam of S. Victor ; and lastly, the Dedica- tion Letabundus and Lauda Syon exhibit the later custom of writing new words to old melodies, both semi-metrical and strictly metrical. W. H. F.
