       * Measures 10-19 & 55-62 (Bass): "way ha a way" etc. in the style of native American chant, slightly forced breath

          * Measures 20-23 & 99-106: "rum" [u] to be pronounced as in English 'room' and with a slightly rolled 'r'

          *Overtone sections from measure 64- 98 may be sung with consonant 'N' to separate overtones
                                        OR with a slightly forced 'H'
