_Bars_: Let all the six Notes be Sung over again in order, and so
proceed distinctly to try at the Parts themselves.
The Second Example.
[Illustration: Music]
You having now gone over the former Examples, must proceed by the same
clue of Six Notes to descend three Gradations or Steps lower, _viz._ to
_G._ which is to the Second Note of the first six, an _Octave_ or
Eighth.
First then, in the first _Bar_ you must begin with a high pitch in your
Voice, and so having Sung, as in the former Examples, _La_, _G_, _Fa_,
_Le_, _D_, _Ce_, leave out _La_, and only Sing the Five last: Then
repeat only three in the Second Bar, _viz._ the three last _La_, _D_,
_Ce_, calling them now not by those names, but by that of _One_, _Two_,
_Three_, and though the names are altered, you must not alter the Tune
or Tone.
Having thus proceeded, observe in the third Bar to Sing the Six Notes
from _Le_, to _G_, naming them as the Bells _One_, _Two_, _Three_,
_Four_, _Five_, _Six_; In such a manner, that the three first of these
be in Tune, the same with the three last of the former Six; after, as I
said, you have Sung them as the Bells, _viz._ _One_, _Two_, _Three_,
_Four_, _Five_, at least four or five times, then as often Sing them
again by their proper Names, _viz._ _Le_, _D_, _Ce_, _B_, _La_, _G_.
Observe again, that in the fourth Bar you Sing the four first Notes,
_La_, _D_, _Ce_, _B_, about four times over; after that repeat _Ce_,
_B_, by themselves taking good notice of their distance or differences,
which is a _Semitone_ like to _Fa_, _Le_ above, _&c._
Consider once more, as to this Example, as to the fifth Bar after all
the six are Sung by you, repeat the last four, _viz._ _Ce_, _B_, _La_,
_G_, do it often over, keeping them up in the same Tone they had in all
six, by which means _Ce_ and _B_ will be distant half a Note, whereupon
Sing them backward, _viz._ _G_, _La_, _B_, _Ce_, and at the end repeat
_D Ce_, as you did _Le Fa_ at the thirteenth Bar before set down.
[Illustration: Music]
Observe further now in these Six Bars, that when you have Sung all six
in order, Sing the three first _Le_, _D_, _Ce_, and there stop; then
proceed to Sing those three over again in the same Tune, nor calling
them _Le_, _D_, _Ce_, but _Three_, _Four_, _Five_; do it several times,
and so proceed to the Seventh Bar, adding two Notes above, and Sing them
on the five Bells, _viz._ _One_, _Two_, _Three_, _Four_, _Five_, three
or four times;
