• Notes: A solo voice or rehearsed ensemble sings the verses with all on the refrain. Although the refrain does not change, a gesture from the leader at each entrance will help the confidence of the singers. Keep the tempo steady to the very end. Note that the value of the notes doubles in the final ending, creating a built-in ritard.
