I recently noticed this material put on Archive.org<http://archive.org/> (and also available on sanskritdocuments.org<http://sanskritdocuments.org/>):
https://archive.org/details/sAmagAnam/Samaveda_Samams_Decoding_PR_Iyer/ Samagana (sAmagAnam सामगानम्) are lines for chanting with musical notes. These lines have no relation with the lines of saamaveda Samhita. Saamagaanam is not singing of the samhita. We present here first portions of SAmagAna in Malayalam script, handwritten manuscripts with svaras prepared by P R Iyer (iyerpr49 at gmail) communicated in January 2021. Linked from https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_veda The audio clips of the Samaveda Ganam are available at https://iish.org/sama-veda/ The text in the PDF files has the corresponding audio clip number and minute:seconds time stamp on the left side of the text in each PDF file. By clip number 24, audios of Grama gaanam (GG) and Aranyaka gaanam(AG) are completed. The remaining 40 audio clips are for Uha gaanam and Uhya gaanam. Uha gaanam and Uhya gaanam text is really massive actually intimidating and error prone. Those are not prepared here, and there is no plan to post them. The document Samaveda_Samams_Decoding_PR_Iyer.pdf will help the reader to chant saamams musically. Another file Secrets_of_gUDhAkSharams_of_sAmaveda_saMhitA_PRIyer.pdf will reveal some Secrets of gUDhAkSharams of_ sAmaveda saMhitA. For information, all Samaveda Samhita files in Malayalam are available at https://archive.org/details/samaveda-malayalam-0001-0114-Agneyam_PR-Iyer/Samaveda_Malayalam_0001-0114_Agneyam_PR_Iyer Samaveda Samhita Kauthuma Samhita in Malayalam handwritten manuscripts with Samaveda svaras prepared by P R Iyer (iyerpr49 at gmail) communicated in October 2020.

Houben via INDOLOGY <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> a écrit : Dear François, Since you want to give a reply to your student -- Asko: happy to know that this important publication of Wayne Howard has been generously made available at the Studia Orientalia website -- you may consider in addition to refer him to: J.M. van der Hoogt: The Vedic Chant Studied in its Textual and Melodic Form. (Concerns mainly the Kauthuma school of Samaveda.) Dissertation at the University of Amsterdam (prepared under the direction of Barend Faddegon). Wageningen: Veenman & Sons, 1929. Without practical examples this, and many other publications on the Samaveda, still remain largely incomprehensible. Hence the necessity either to travel to India and study the Sama chant in situ, or to refer in addition to: https://vimeo.com/channels/vedicritual and more specifically to https://vimeo.com/channels/vedicritual/722739138 Vaidikas in Bucharest 2010 - edited Paris 2022 Pdt. Chaitanya N. Kale and Pdt. Mukund R. Joshi (of the rare Rāṇāyanīya school of the Sāmaveda) give a presentation: *The mnemotechniques and traditional recitation of the Vedic Samhitas (RV and SV)* Bucharest, 22 September 2010. A. Recitation of some well-known Rgvedic mantras (their precise identification is left as an exercise to students of the Vedas) -- 00:30; B. RV 1.164.50 in samhita, pada and krama patha -- 04:25; C. Samavedic mantras and chant -- 07:25 intro; 08:25 recitation of Purvarcika, SV 1.1-10; 10:25 chant on the basis of SV 1.139: together with text plus its musical notation.

I found some rather brief or cryptic comments on the matter in Renou's "Inde classique" § 547-548 and Burnell (Introduction to the Ārṣeya Brāhmaṇa, p. xxvi-xxvii), but these are not sufficient for my purpose (which is to give the best possible answer to a student's question). This doesn't need to be exhaustive. A good and simple description of the Jaiminīya's way, for example, would be enough. Thanks in advance, F.
