Phrasing Text with Tune

We now add the few remaining breaks according to the textual phrasing that was already determined (yellow highlights).

This is the completed phrasing plan for “Silent Night.” With the musical phrasing slurs removed, only the following reminders are left:

• Vertical line within the text (see red lines) or “V” sign--break in all verses
• Arabic numeral--break in a particular verse
• Slur--sustain in a particular verse

Listen to the audio example of verse 1.
