Assignment Name: Prosody Assignment 3 – Hark the Herald Angels
Date Taken: January 10, 2020

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:

Part Three - Hark the Herald Angels Sing/America the Beautiful

The lyrics to two famous compositions have been swapped, and the result is bad prosody. Your assignment is to alter the lyrics as little as possible so as to restore good prosody.

Repair the lyric in both songs.

Each phrase is to retain as much of its original meaning as possible. For example, you might need to rewrite “amber waves of grain” as “amber oceans of grain” or “grain in waves of tan” to allow it to scan correctly, or you might need to find a different color of grain; but try to retain the water/wave metaphor if possible.

You are not to change a single note of music.

Note: in the music of Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, several of the measures call for a melisma (more than one note on a single syllable). In your rewrite of the lyric, try to preserve this musical idea. For example, in the last two notes of measure 2, the original lyric was “si-ing” on two notes attempt in your rewrite to find a new single syllable to function as a melisma, just as in the original.
