Thread Name: ID Song from Sweet Honey in the Rock
Subject: RE: African Folk Songs
Hello - Looking for a song I heard "Sweet Honey in the Rock" perform a few years back, I came across this thread and I'm hoping someone could help.
It's simply one phrase repeated many times, the rhythm:
E= Eighth note
Q= Quarter
DQ= Dotted Quarter
H= Half
DH= Dotted Half
Rhythm
E E | Q       Q DQ E | Q H      E E|Q       Q DQ E | DH
Notes:   
G G |G(up) F D    C | B G      G G|F(up) D C    D| B

Sorry for the semi-awkward presentation. The phrase was started every 2nd and 4th beat. I can't remember if the syllables were actual words or not. Any help would be great. Thanks,
-DB
