fast tune
The fast tune has a main tune, and a contrasting tune every third verse.
Each tune has three parts, high, medium and low.
To learn the harmonies:
-
Listen to the separate recordings of the parts and follow the pattern of pitches in the pictures.
-
Listen to the full recording - see if you can hear the different parts.
-
Try singing to the recording, following whichever part is most comfortable for your voice.

A few things to look out for:
-
Watch for the step down from blue to yellow in the top line where it looks like there is a note missing!.
-
There's a matching step down from yellow to red in the middle line (which looks like it continues on yellow).
-
And watch out for the step down to pink and purple in the low part - it comes sooner than you expect!
