Excerpt from A New School of Gregorian Chant In order that the beginner may thoroughly master all the details connected with the rhythm, the notes which are to be accentuated are clearly indicated in the first exercises of Part I over the various groups of notes. It stands to reason that the notes should not burst forth loudly and prominently, and especially that the final notes should die away softly and gently. Beginners can use these signs as a means to help them to read and practise the music, just as a pianist at first gladly avails himself of fingering exercises. More advanced pupils can test their method of execution by means of these signs. In the later exercises only the more important places are marked with the rhythmical accent.
