Notes: |
This is an excellent setting to introduce to reticent congregations. There are only two musical lines the
congregation needs to learn, both of them memorable and first sung by the leader. Notice that the opening
introduction is sung the first time only. After each stanza, return to the refrain. The melody may be doubled
by a flute or flute stop on the organ, if desired. The rhythm patterns may be improvised on finger cymbals,
hand drums, tambourines, or other available instruments. The rhythmic accompaniment should be reduced
or drop out entirely after the refrain, coming back in joyfully after the solo voice sings “hallelujah!” |
