Re: Oldvak - something to figure out

Dirk Elzinga scripsit:

This couplet has a very nice blues melody, though I'm not sure if it
was written by Leonard Bernstein or not:

I will not be afraid (hold) (hold) of death and-bane
G  G   F   Eb C G----------------- F  Eb    C   C
I-said-I will not be afraid (hold) (hold) of death and-bane
G G    G G    F   Eb c G----------------- F  Eb    C   C
Till Birnam Forest come to Dunsinane
G    c  c   F G    d    c  G  Eb C

Small letters are the octave above caps.  Hyphens show notes shorter
than a beat.  "(hold)" means to hold a note for a beat.
