A longer upper note hangs above a moving inner pattern. The source’s slow, tender direction makes that sustained voice the thread to follow.

How to practise it
- Sing the longer upper voice first, then add the moving eighth notes more softly without shortening the melody.
How hard is it
Level 6, estimated
Simultaneous upper voices combine held melody with moving inner notes and sustained lower harmony. Expressive balance and changing dynamics are more demanding than the note count suggests.
