Rules for the tuning of Psalmes.
FIrst, All the greater Psalmes are to be tuned with a rising, the lesser without a rising.
2 The indeclinable words, the Hebrew, and Barbarous, are to be pro∣nounced in the middle accent high.
3 The tuning of the lesser Psalmes of the first Tone is thus out of alamire, and out of Ffaut, the tuning of the greater thus: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Laudate pueri do laudate nomen domini: memento do. Da. Magnificat anima mea dominum.
The melodie of verses in Responsories, is framed by later Musitians at their pleasure: but of entrances the manner is as yet inuiolably kept, accor∣ding to the decrees of the Ancients, in this manner.
