The Take-Off

This tune also ends with a rise in the voice, like the Glide-Up, but any words and syllables before the rise are low.

I was only trying to help.

We call this tune the Take-Off because, like an aeroplane taking off, it starts by running along at a low level and finally rises into the air.

The rise, as in the Glide-Up, either takes place on one syllable or it is spread over several syllables.

Before the rise any stressed word is felt to be important, even though there is no change of pitch. All the syllables before the rise are said on the same low pitch as the beginning of the rise; they must not be higher than this, or you will have a Glide-Up instead of a Take-Off.

In the simpler intonation marking the rise has the same mark as before (), stressed syllables after this have (), and stressed syllables before it have ().
