I've sung this, albeit many years ago (1969). In conjuring up the physical memory, it came out of my mouth just now this way: Quarter rest, half note (come), quarter tied across bar to eighth (shad-) eighth (ow), two eighths (of my) half (end). eighth rest, eighth (and) two slurred eighths (shape) two slurred quarters (of) half (rest). I have no idea if that's the standard way, but lo those many years ago I had imagined myself a darn good countertenor and gave a full concert of Dowland. I was wrong on being a good countertenor, so maybe I'm wrong on those syllables, too. :) Dennis -- Please participate in my latest project: http://maltedmedia.com/waam/ _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
