Performance tip

Before performing Ulysses, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. That preparation will keep Ulysses from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose Ulysses when a conversational approach to its questioning lines suits you. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, with fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
