Deconstructing "Good King Wenceslas" -- Mr. Rosner & Ms. Mason's classes



Third Grade Home School will be performing "Bransle" as an instrumental piece and "Good King Wenceslas" as an accompanied vocal. How much accompaniment will depend on how much of the song you can learn to play on recorder by December 17.

I have posted the sheet music here with some of the note names filled in. One useful exercise would be to figure out the names of the remaining notes on your own. I am also providing the fingering for F#, which you will need to know to play this piece. If you notice the key signature, it indicates one sharp meaning that we are in the key of G. Get comfortable with this, as "Bransle" is in the key of G as well.

Above I have posted audio clips which should help you learn the song piece by piece.
