GS 2007 Article 164 – SCBP – Overleaf Notation and Other Matters

The advisory committee presented its proposal:

1.      Material

  • 1.1     SCBP Report 12

2.      Observations

  • 2.1     Regarding the overleaf notation:
    • 2.1.1    Synod Chatham mandated the committee to recommend that the SCBP proceed with the Overleaf Musical Notation Edition (re 7.3.1 of Art. 115).
    • 2.1.2    The committee proposes to keep the overleaf notation on hold until the progress of developing the common songbook becomes clearer. The committee remarks that there is a growing sense that the URCNA committee will much prefer the music in the common book to be four-part harmony. Moreover, many changes to the prose section are pending. With this in mind it is economically responsible to implement all the changes at once, be it a reworked Book of Praise or the common songbook.

3.      Considerations

  • 3.1     The committee’s recommendation is prudent.

4.      Recommendation

Synod decide:

  • 4.1     To instruct the committee to keep the overleaf notation on hold until the progress of developing the common songbook becomes more clear.

ADOPTED
