Native American: Muskogee (Creek language)
Arranger: Nancy Grundahl
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SSAA with optional frame drum
Rhythmic breathing and a strong "h" on "heleluyan" will keep the character of this piece robust and moving forward. Breaths could be taken after each measure or after two measures depending on artistic preference. Though each syllable should be slightly accented, a stronger accent can fall on the syllable "lu" as in other songs with the text "Hallelujah." To insure a proper sound on "hel," ask singers to keep the "l" forward and on the tip of the tongue, separating the two "eh" vowels (the second syllable is not "lay"). The grace notes should emulate the powerful ornaments of Native American singing.
