• Notes: Take care that the timing is determined by the text and not by the apparent note values. Particularly when phrases have only one or two syllables under the initial reciting tone, do not stall but move immediately to the next word. In some of the cadences, some syllables do need to be stretched over two notes. To add variety, have a quartet sing in alternation with the congregation. The organ and/or choir can help to support the congregational singing and prevent the tempo from dragging.
