It's my memory. However, it's a cut-n-paste from a web page with his
name on top. The only middle-man to blame is a possible editor.

On chol and ch"m I use a siddur that has all quotes from Tanakh in
compliance with the keter, so I had to go get an ArtScroll. The Yitzchak
Yair (red, Hebrew only, Ashkenaz siddur for year-round) edition has
    Anna H' hoSHIA'ah nna
    Anna H' hatzliCHAH na
The capitalization is an attempt to illustrate that there is a meteg
under the shin in "hoshi'ah" but hatzlichah is left to the default
milera. And only the first "nna" is degushah.

I was referring to a different edition in which I saw both phrases take
a non-dagush "na". But we already established the quality of my memory.

"Atzeres" implies solemnity?

In any case:
Have a joyous Eighth Day, the Solemn Assembly of Sukkos!
(Rama OC 668:1)

Tir'u baTov!
