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
