Numbers

In Numbers, 10 chapters have a tenor that is not on the B. Chapter 33, the migrations, has 16 short verses that are of the shape: e g# ^A e g# e. Over half the verses avoid the notes B and C. This low tessitura seems to allow g# to emerge as the tenor. Chapter 23 has C as its tenor. Perhaps this is the result of the poetry of the foreigner Balaam. Chapter 2 is also repetitive and with 11 verses of lower tessitura. The rhythms result in some extra notes on the g# both when getting to the subdominant rest (A) and returning to the tonic e. Note that every book in its own pdf is available from this post.
