PERFORMANCE TIPS

  • In Measures 21 you will see:   // near the top of the staff.  These two slashes are called a Caesura,   sometimes called a Grand Pause (along with the abbreviation G.P.) or Luftpausen. 
  • The slashes mean there is to be a brief, silent pause in the music for everyone.  A caesura usually comes in an unexpected place in the music.   
  • Sometimes we call the caesura "railroad tracks" or "tram lines" because thats what they look like.  And like real railroad tracks you want to stop suddenly, carefully look both ways then make sure you watch the conductor for when to go across the tracks.

OPTIONS:

There are more lyrics to “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”.  If you want to use them you can repeat the song more times and then insert the different lyrics for the verses at measure 11.  To get all the lyrics click the “More Lyrics Swing Low Sweet Chariot” link.
