I know it does, because that's how we do it.

"Certainly"? Why?

Why couldn't it be that Tehillim were said as an excercise in building
bitachon. Don't worry, the Rofei kol basar isd on the case!

: What would some tunes be comprised of?

Since it's sing-song either way, that's a hard question to answer.
Especially in a forum that doesn't allow for music notation. Something
more along the lines of majestic than of kumzitz music.
