Annotation quality: Tick

Annotated by: Linda Barwick and Joe Blythe

Annotator's note:

The text could be analysed as a single long line rather than being split into two as here. In each verse the first two text cycles are accompanied by moderate triple gapped stickbeating, while the final three text cycles are accompanied by moderate even stickbeating.
