Mr. Rosner and Ms. Mason's classes -- Deconstructing "Bransle"



Hi Third Graders -- to continue our work on "Bransle" I have broken out the 2nd part, which accompanies the melody. Sometimes in instrumental music there will be 2 or more parts on the same instrument to create some pretty harmonies, but it can be confusing to look at a musical score with multiple parts -- "Bransle" also has a triangle and drum part -- and figure out what you are supposed to be playing. If you want to look at the whole score, check our posts for November in the archive.

The second part of "Bransle" is super easy, but presents a few challenges because the notes are low and because the part contains a few F#'s. If you worked on F# for "Good King Wenceslas" it should be a piece cake for you here.

Listen to the audio posted above and follow my directions.
