CONNECT & RESPOND: Watch the youtube videos (click full screen box corner icon for larger view)
The first video, "Cat Opera", is a song called "Duetto buffo di due gatti" (translated "Humorous Duet for Two Cats"). The second video, "Opera performed by animals" is a song called "Guerra, guerra" (translated "War, War").
In Opera singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and music. Think about the movies you like. Is there music in them? Does the music have words that go with it? When does music happen? Does the music make you feel a certain way? How does this music make you feel? Email any thoughtful responses to MDavis@sau53.org or MTruong@sau53.org

The first song a great listen and move song. The first time through the directions are spoken, the second time through dancers need to use their ears to listen to what the music is telling them to do.
The second is purely instrumental - to get the wiggles out! If that is too "free form" for your musician, click on through and find the following videos that give explicit instruction on how to move.
Enjoy the music and get dancing!

This is a repeat-after-me Appalachian folk song. The music word for this is an 'echo' song. Try to listen carefully for the ending which adds on more to it each time. For an added challenge increase the tempo (or speed) with each additional verse, to see who can sing the lyrics the fastest without getting mixed up!
