Native American: Muskogee (Creek language)
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.
