    Francis thanks for the the score. I have a question however and I need a little assistance.
    When singing the Alto part specifically on "er" and "ing" on ev-er-last-ing after the 2nd breath mark what should be sung. Is the Eb and D held or does the alto sing the same note as the Soprano.
    thanks for your help.

    Oh ... I thought this was a harmonized accompaniment for the unison melody, not a 4-part setting.

    That could be, but help me out anyway. I don't play organ either. I am always interested to learn new things. So if I were playing this, would I simply stop playing over the notes as mentioned above and play the single not or would I hold the note shown as a open note over the next note?

    This is taken directly from the NOH. It is strictly an organ accompaniment. I will record an example.
