"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.

Pastime With Good Company -- Third Recorders

Hi Ensemble players -- I'll need three or four of you to tackle the 3rd recorder part. Give this video a look and we'll talk about this next week.

Recorder Ensemble - "Pastime With Good Company" Part 2

Here's the second part. Once again, Recorder players, try to read the notes as well as follow my hands when learning this piece. The B section is included here -- we'll be getting into that next week, if you want to get started. And Don't forget to watch out for those G#'s.

Recorder Ensemble - "Pastime With Good Company" Part 1

Here's the first recorder part for ""Pastime" with the music. When you practice, I want you to make an effort to read along with the music, not just watch my hands or try to memorize your part. The B section of the song is covered here, so feel free and go ahead and get started on that for next week.

The second recorder part will be posted shortly.

Recorder Ensemble - Making the Octave E

Welcome back Recorder Ensemble members -- In order to play the first part of our new song, "Pastime With Good Company" you will need to be able to make the high E consistently. This video will help you do that. Even if you are a second recorder, please check it out, as you will need that high E for other pieces down the road.
