As is the default for this week, I spend the first half-hour singing complex paltas both in open vowels and with text syllables distributed to mark the internal accents of the palta cells. Because directional changes from descent to ascent are more difficult to sing without muscular stiffness (for me, anyway), I compose patterns with this in mind.

This morning I spend the most time on an expanding sequence: SR SN SRGR SNDNS / RG RS RGMG RSNSR / GM GR GMPM GRSRG etc. This has four internal accents and so will support the same number of text syllables as a bol-taan, and since the first line of "arre more saiyaan" has twelve syllables, it's a perfect match. So I move the text up and down as well.
