Excerpt from The Canticles at Evensong: Together With the Office Responses and a Table of Psalm-TonesThe following Table of Psalm -tones has been compiled with the purpose of providing greater melodic wealth than is afforded by the Sarum Tonale while retaining the great er part of the latter in its accustomed order as a basis. To this end, traditional Continental mediations have been added in the forms presented by the Vatican Antiphoner, to gether with supplementary endings, among which all save the third ending of the fourth Tone are of ancient use, either in England or on the Continent. This exception is a slight modification (made by the Benedictines of Solesmes) of an ancient ending. The additional mediations are distinguished in the Table by the letters B and C and the solemn media tions for Magnificat by the letter S. Wherever more than a single mediation is given for a Tone, the Sarum form is marked by the letter A As the numbering of the Sarum endings adopted in recent English Psalters has become wide ly familiar, it is retained: the additional endings eitherbeing substituted for certain of the Sarum set that are practically never used, or else assigned further numbers after the com plete enumeration of the Sarum group.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
