This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 Excerpt: ... the selection of chants, if the best results are to be obtained. Those chants work best that will bear a stronger accent on the first note of the mediation than on the third, while those with an upward skip to the third note are less satisfactory, and if the skip be wide should be regarded as almost, if not quite, inadmissible. The tendency of the mediation is rather to diminuendo than to crescendo as in Group II.; chants should, therefore, be selected that will work more or less harmoniously with this conception, and allow shading off in the mediation as in the cadence.
