Yes, I love how the tunes are interchangeable! however, I really would like to get the music for this exact tune—it's one of my favorites.

To begin singing Anglican Chant, you sing the numbers.

Try it. Once you have it down, let me know and I will post the next step. It's easy, really it is.

John Scott holds the copyright on the pointing and posting it on the list or copying it and sending it to someone would, without his permission, in violation of copyright law.

Hylton Stewart wrote the music long before 1927, so it is public domain and may be shared.

Actually, I don't need the pointing; I will be using a different pointing for a different psalm. I do know how to sing Anglican Chant. (I also like the nonsense syllables ‘strawberry nought one two : strawberry nought one two three four’.)

Edit: ‘strawberry’ triplet idea borrowed from Jack's Pipe.

You can copyright the POINTING of a Public Domain Psalm text?

I find the topic of copyright law interesting. Please see here for my attempt at a primer on the subject.

Whether copying Mr. Scott's work constitutes copyright infringement depends on whether he has copyright in it. Whether he has copyright in it does depends on whether he has created an original expression, not on whether he affixed a (c) to it or any other such thing.

Ignore, for the moment, whether Mr. Scott has any copyright in the layout, for example, of this particular page. Instead, consider whether he has copyright in the pointing of a public domain psalm text.

One has copyright in one's original expression embodied in a tangible medium. He can't have copyright in the psalm because it's public domain, i.e., it's not an original expression of his. So the only possible element of his work in which copyright could be claimed is the pointing itself, and the question would be whether the pointing is an original expression. If the pointing of the psalm is dictated by some principle or method of pointing psalms that is not itself an original expression of the author (say, for example, the formula for the Mode I psalm tone in the Liber Usualis), it is doubtful the pointing is an original expression and that copyright exists in it. If, on the other hand, he's come up with some nifty new scheme for singing psalm -- some psalm tone that's original to him -- then this pointing is probably original.

So, for example, if I point "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" according to the system for Mode I set forth in the Liber Usualis, I can stamp (c) all over it, but sayin' it don't make it so.

Now, suppose I produce, say, a beautiful painting of a shepherd, a sheep, and a green pasture, and I write on this painting "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" with pointing indicated according to the system for Mode I set forth in the Liber Usualis -- what copyright do I have in this work?

I certainly have copyright in the work as a whole; you can't just photocopy the thing. But I do not have copyright in the particular element, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" with pointing indicated according to the system for Mode I set forth in the Liber Usualis. Why? Because it's not original.

So, while you couldn't photocopy my painting, you could write down "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" with pointing indicated according to the system for Mode I set forth in the Liber Usualis.

I make no claim whatsoever about Mr. Scott's particular pointing of this psalm. It maybe that this pointing is entirely original to him. If it is, he probably has copyright in it. But if he does, it's because he created an original expression, not because he stamped (c) all over it.

As a music major who also happens to be a computer science major, I do try to integrate 0 as a natural number wherever I can :-) and I like the "I can sing" words.

Although I haven't listened to this tune for a while, merely reading the sheet music has put it into my head as an earworm, so that I want to sing everything to it—including the psalm words that I originally heard with it. I think the tune aids memorization.

So...what are the unnatural numbers?

And, if 0 is a number, what number is it? Since it's zero....

So...-1 is one less than nothing. What's nothing squared?

Cool. Math even I can understand, thanks!

The G&P numbers are twisted. I am sure it is a result of rampant in-breeding.
