What it teaches
Swing Low's line, plain, then with a turn on "home". The run is ours, one singer's choice: on a spiritual it serves the word.
Plain first. The tune as it is
On home. A turn, serving the word
Then breathe. Before "Coming for to carry me"
What you sing
- "Coming for to carry me home", plain.
- Now with a turn on "home".
Singing safely
Runs need a light voice: a medium volume, the middle of your voice, no pushing or squeezing. Short sessions. Stop if anything tightens.
