Ukulele Tuning/Chords for "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Welcome back fifth graders. As you know, going forward, some of us will be playing ukuleles in our graduation performance of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" -- to that end here's a website that will help you keep your uke in tune. Click on Uke Tuner. On a related topic here are those chords you will need to know:

The Ash Grove

Hi Choiristers -- here is a recorder of "The Ash Grove" that I have played for you in class. Their arrangement is different from ours (and faster), but it should at least give you an idea of how the two parts fit together.

"Ungaresca" - B Section

And here's that "B" section. Note that it is a little longer -- six measure instead of 4. Remember -- a little practice every day pays off -- so get to it!

"Ungaresca" - A Section

Recorder Ensemble -- to help you practice for the Renaissance Faire next week here is the A section of "Ungaresca." Remember to use the correct fingering on your F's.

"Greensleeves" -- for First Grade

Hi First Graders. Here is a recording of "Greensleeves" the way we will do it for the Renaissance Faire. I'm putting this up so you can practice the words to the song in class or at home. Here are the words as we will perform them:

Greensleeves (attributed to Henry VIII)

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,

To cast me off discourteously.

For I have loved you well and long,

Delighting in your company.



Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight,

Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady Greensleeves?

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,

To God I pray to prosper thee,

For I am still thy lover true,

Come once again and love me.



Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight,

Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady Greensleeves?

"Water Come A Me Eye" - Part 2

Here's the second part of "Water Come A Me Eye." We'll decide later who will play the top and who will play the bottom. For now I'd like everybody to have some basic knowledge of both parts.

"Water Come A Me Eye" - Part 1

We're back on line after a couple of months. Hope to make more frequent posts going forward. Here's a video of "Water Come A Me Eye" -- one of the songs we will be playing for our concert, tentatively scheduled for June 1.
