• Notes: When using the accompanying text, the pattern in the opening measures of the bass can be used as a vamp under the reading. A leader should help the congregation enter into the singing of the appropriate stanzas through the course of the reading. When not using the accompanying text, conclude with a return to the singing of st. 1. Sing with a slow, “bluesy” feel, with a sense of woe.
