Exercise 20.

$\relative c' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 12/4 \override BreathingSign.text = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" } c4^$ e g c \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed e g f d \revert NoteHead.style b g f d c$ \breathe e^$ g c \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed e a f d \revert NoteHead.style b g f d | c$ \breathe e-.^$ g-. c-.\< \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed e-.$ g^"and upward" ~ g2\!\fermata \bar ".." } \addlyrics { oo } \addlyrics { ah }$

Sing on all vowels, softly, paying particular attention to the staccato and slurred passages. Pause on last note.

Exercise 21.

$\relative c' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 4/4 c( e\< g c\! | \once \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-black c\> g e | c\!) r r2 \bar ".." } \addlyrics { ah } \addlyrics { oo }$

Exercise 22.

$\relative c' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 4/4 \tempo "Very slowly." c4^( cis d dis | e ees d des | c) r r2 \bar ".." } \addlyrics { ah }$

Note. Sometimes a fuller resonance is obtained by using "na" for vocalizing; this combination is also very useful for making the tongue active.
