Jacob Berns, OSB, of St. John\u2019s Abbey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wonderful and very famous introit antiphon. Unlike Eastern traditions, Western Christianity lets the liturgical year begin with the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Sunday of Advent, hence <em>Ad the levavi<\/em> is the first chant on the first page of medieval manuscripts, and the <em>Graduale Novum<\/em> edition has the first notes of <em>Ad the levavi<\/em> as a golden imprint on its front cover. The long move from <em>Ad te<\/em> upwards to <em>Deus meus<\/em> is a marvelous expression of prayer, hope, and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ad te levavi<\/em> shows suprisingly many differences between the neumes from St. Gall (below the modern notes, late 10<sup>th<\/sup> century) and the neumes from Laon (above the modern notes, around 930). Other pieces have way less differences. Just one example that you can understand even when you do not know much about neumes. Have a look at <em>Deus<\/em> in the first line: St. Gall writes a single note on the first syllable, and two single notes on the second syllable, both marked with a little bar at the upper end, the <em>episem<\/em> (literally \u201csign at the edge\u201d). The invention of the episem is easy to understand: The writer of the neumes sang while he wrote the manuscript, and whenever he dilated a note that he sang, some ink spilled into the parchment at the end of the <em>virga<\/em>, the sign upwards from left to right that is used for a single note. We can often identify such spots in the manuscripts. So the writer made this a rule: Whenever he explicitely wanted to make clear that a note is supposed to be dilated, he added the episem. Although the stressed syllable of <em>Deus<\/em> is the first one, the second syllabe gets a very careful expression, and such the entire word is marked as an important one. (A similar idea follows at <em>meus.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless the modern melody shows an additional note, so that <em>Deus<\/em> does not only have four notes like in St. Gall, but five. The reason can be found in the upper manuscript from Laon that shows two notes upwards where St. Gall only has one single note. Modern research has shown that the majority of the oldest manuscripts has this additional note, hence the <em>Graduale Novum<\/em> added it too. But this additional deeper note is very light and unaccented\u2014so light that it was completely ommitted in several places in the 10<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beside the wonderful first line, I have two other parts of <em>Ad te levavi<\/em> that I like the most: <em>inimici mei<\/em> lets me imagine dangerous enemies that arise in front of me like a dangerous threat\u2014and then shrink immediately, like when I wake up from a nightmare and realize that it was nothing but a bad dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally there is the end: <em>non confundentur.<\/em> The melody becomes light, playful, lively. Advent brings us into the tension of \u201cyet\u201d and \u201cnot yet\u201d. <em>Ad te levavi<\/em> lets us experience both, but the \u201cyet\u201d has the final say: Here and now we can be grateful and live in trust and liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ad te levavi animam meam &#8211; To you, Lord, I lift up my soul<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":50017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3119,19,3302,91,21],"tags":[1085,1038],"class_list":["post-50016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-plaza-new-ws","category-mass","category-introitus","category-liturgical-year","category-music-chant","tag-gregorian-chant","tag-introit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
