I don't know if you're like me, but I'm a very visual person and seeing illustrations helps me. You can click on this picture to see a larger version of it.
The chart above is the sound file for "Ding! Dong! Merrily on High." Notice where I've put little signs where the long, extended "glorias" that we sing are located. The blue lines that reach all the way to the edges of the rectangle are the loudest sounds. They actually max out the microphones in my recorder. Notice that these "gloria" sections are triangular. Cory has asked us to maintain volume through these sections, and clearly the volume is going down quite a bit, and comes back up when a new "gloria" begins.
So, I thought next time we sing this, we could see if we could get the sound wave patterns to be more rectangular by maintaining the volume better. What do you think? Are you up for the challenge? I'll post a new picture and we can see how we did.
