GR294 GB68 |
 C/C♯
- There are 10 verses. Technically the melody repeats itself two verses by two, so that's 5 patterns to learn, syllabic and neumatic. There is a 5th DA between verses 2 and 3, between 3 and 4. There is an octave DD between verses 4 and 5, between 5 and 6. There is a 5th DA between verses 6 and 7. There is an octave DD between verses 9 and 10. - All the verses end with "ium" with a dotted note so make it double and make the "um" vibrate and sound profound. - When you reach the final Amen you're happy it's finished, although you've enjoyed it, haven't you? - And don't forget the Alleluia in the end. |

- All the verses end on G, mode 7 final. Verses 1 to 18 have 3 lines (separated by a half bar). Verses 19 to 22 have 4 lines. Verses 23 to 24 have 5 lines. Verses have the same melody two by two (same melody for verses 1 and 2, verses 3 and 4, etc.), except 5+6 grouped together have the same melody as 7+8 (with little differences between 6 and 8 to accommodate the shorter lines); in other words: same melody for verses 5 and 7, and (pretty much) same melody for verses 6 and 8. My suggestion: if you sing alternatively the verses in two groups, make an exception here, first group sings 5+6 and second group 7+8. - Little difficulty: many verses start on top D, a 5th above G ending the previous verse, except for verses 19 and 20 which start on top C, a 4th above G; you might get caught starting on a 5th instead a 4th but you can quickly catch up with the descending pattern CBAG and then AFGG. - The peak of this sequence is verse 21:
- The four verses 21 to 24 actually compose the hymn "Ecce panis Angelorum" usually sung in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. It can be found on page 99 of the Parish Book of Chant. It is referenced in the Liber Usualis index as "Ecce panis" page 948. The melody will sound familiar to anyone who heard it during processions of the Blessed Sacrament. |

Repeat the first 4 verses until the procession has come back to the altar then launch verses 5 and 6: Tantum ergo and kneel at the same time. There are a few melodies for this hymn but the well-known one is to be found page 957 in the Liber Usualis.  |

 B/D
 2. Second trap: memorize the Bb at the end of Domine because it will be used for the "li" of libera, actually the descending DCBb like Mi-Re-Do becomes an ascending BbCD like Do-Re-Mi. It's tempting to start libera on ABbC (semitone-tone) instead of BbCD (tone-tone). Actually this error gives a totally different flavour to the melody, going down to some gloomy notes. The melody here was really meant to go up with a strong 'tone-tone' as a cry to the Lord, calling for liberation of one's soul (libera anima meam). |

 D/E♭
- When the singers start after the cantor / after the star (on the symbol ij.), there is a AGAGF where it is tempting to add an F and sing it like AGFAGF. - Salvum me fac is acrobatic, it goes up and down: down to D on "Sal" then up to F on "vum" reaching A then down again to F on "me". - Same acrobatic manoeuvre happens to the word persequentibus. - Be careful on the "mni" of the word omnibus: it starts after the torculus + porrectus of the "o"; the typography of "mni" makes people think that it starts earlier, on the porrectus. |

- Try no to pause at the quarter bar after morte. - It is also tempting to lengthen the last note A of eos, but one should not and go straight to the next words in fame. - Careful at the verse and Gloria Patri: they have two notes D for the mediant. Compare with the classic fifth psalm tone in the Liber Usualis page 115. |

- A bit difficult to pitch the E at the beginning of "a" on the word via: think of heading towards the following F, which is a note you will come back often. - Watch out the B natural on "bit" of docebit. - If you make a little pause at the star after vias, it is possible to sing the remaining suas in one breath. |

- There is a tricky transition at the full bar after super vos: the word "et" before discite starts on a 4th DG not easy to pitch. My advice: sing the two first notes DG the same way you would start the double pattern mentioned above. |

 E/F
- This attitude of the sinner prostrated before God can be perceived through the recurrent note of F, mode 6 final. - The sinner's cry to God is lifted up to top C and above, when the man sees himself alone (unicus) and afflicted (pauper).  followed by « look at my humiliation » (vide humilitatem meam) expressed by the move from top C down to bottom C.  - Then the plea to forgive all his sins (dimitte omnia peccata mea) kneeling on the constant F note. - Interesting word omnia, in two parts: first the tristropha on "o" aknowledges the great amount of sins, then the clivis going down to bottom C on "mnia" and you can imagine the sinner bowing the head in contrition. - Finally the little jubilus on Deus meus, putting all his hope in « my God ».  - The introit continues, in psalm tone, with the same psalm 24 and the words one can hear on 1st Sunday of Advent: Ad te levavi animam meam, « To You, I lift up my soul, O Lord. In You, O my God, I trust; let me not be put to shame. » |

- Little difficulty on the words et nutriet: memorize the starting G because you frequently come back to it, G-ABCDC-G-AB-G-AEF-GG-DCD-G, etc. After all it is a mode 7, so you can expect the final G to happen a few times. - The tenor voices will enjoy the fifth CG (and a repeated G) on "num" of Dominum. - The basses will savour the bottom D on mihi followed by a double fourth DG and GC. |
