A—Ky—Solemn, reverent; clear, assertive voices
B—Ch—Felicity Lott; Sweet, ethereal start, turning “meaningful” in high parts, with much dramatic slowing
A—Gl—Broad, exuberant
A—LT—Della Jones; Orchestra sets a jolly tone; singer almost has a good time with it, but just a little detached, like a salon rather than a saloon song
A—Gr—Assertive, reverent
A—DD—Good battle; circle each other warily, then embrace
A—QT—Fastest time of all recordings so far, but still able to maintain the stagger, especially with the prominence of the strings along with the voices; more indignation than anguish
A—Qu—Bright, jolly; good voice blend; sound like they’re having a good time
A—JC— Same
A—CSS—Crisp, assertive voices; lackluster climactic cadence
A—Cr— Joyous, no holds barred; good balance with orchestra; good chickens 2nd time through, not 1st or 3rd

A—S—Solemn, reverent, assertive
A—H—Crisp, exuberant voices; brisk pace
A—B—Jaunty, bright; good blend of voices and individual assertiveness; detached strings at B
