| Post subject: | Solesmes and pronounciation of Latin |
I am confused about the Solesmes tradition of Gregorian chant. They put the ictus on syllables that shouod not be stressed. They want other syllables to be stressed then when speaking. Why do they think that other syllables should be stressed when singing? They want QUI tol-LIS rather than the correct qui TOLlis. Or maybe there is a french way of speaking Latin that I am not familiar with. Please explain. |

Can you give an example of when this occurs? |

I'll have to review chant notation, but I know that chant is not sung with that syllable accented. |

i think i know what's being asked, but would be helpful to have an actual example.. are you talking about 'qui tollis' where it falls in the gloria or the agnus dei? Because the only time you get one note per syllable in 'qui tollis' in the gloria is in mass VIII and XV... and the only time for the agnus dei is ehhh.... in the requiem mass. (to be fair, i've only ever done mass I, VIII, IX, XV, and XVII...and there's no gloria in XVII). when you get three, separate, individual notes per syllable, it's perfectly common to get qui-TOL-lis or quitol-LIS .... assuming we're talking about the same thing. |

there's no instruction at the front of the liber for that little mark underneath the two notes. i've HEARD that it is used in some places as a very slight hold for people to get on the same key... which might make sense to have it on the QUI, since the rest of the choir is joining in on that word... but makes no sense to have it on the LIS since it's the third same note in succession. those little marks do not exist everywhere in the ordinaries. i'm looking at mass viii right now, and such marks do not exist on any part of 5 notes that make up 'qui tollis' |

i should also note that it's WAY more offending to the ears to hear a choir chant, for example, "in ex-sell-sis" vs. "in ex-chel-sis" |

I want to accent Tol in Tollis. I am asking why this is? My teacher says I should try to sing like I speak. The French sings like this: https://open.spotify.com/track/0I4nMxQU ... vh3nv-HrRA |

yeah, i saw it..... and here was my response in case you missed it: there's no instruction at the front of the liber for that little mark underneath the two notes. i've HEARD that it is used in some places as a very slight hold for people to get on the same key... which might make sense to have it on the QUI, since the rest of the choir is joining in on that word... but makes no sense to have it on the LIS since it's the third same note in succession. those little marks do not exist everywhere in the ordinaries. i'm looking at mass viii right now, and such marks do not exist on any part of 5 notes that make up 'qui tollis' |

Why? Non-French people sing like this (which is way more natural): https://open.spotify.com/track/39KUqqAp ... Ww2cjOpOMg |

Right. Me neither, and not going to get one. Let me see if it's on YouTube. Here we go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_QAtl4q6SE I don't hear an accent on -IS. |
