How to sing the chant: | |
A double forward slash // marks the mid-point in each psalm verse where, traditionally, a pause is observed. A single forward slash / marks a bar-line of the chant. |
A dot · indicates the mid point of the bar, and the note changes after the dot. Words or phrases in bold require slight emphasis. |
