Subject: RE: Singtime Frolics 2012 (Pac. NW)
Other workshops are being added as we get closer to Singtime.

These include:

A SPANISH SONGS workshop (if there's interest, which there has been in the past)

SONGS & STORIES OF THE WEST, OLD & NEW - led by Robert Rodriquez (instead of Saints and Sinners, Heroes and Villains - though the content may overlap some).    This can be trad. songs from the 19th or early 20th C., songs from the Carter Family; Jimmie Rodgers; Woody Guthrie, etc.; songs from the "golden era of western movies" (e.g., Sons Of The Pioneers); cowboy/western songs by more contemporary artists; etc.

PARTNER SONGS, CANTICLES & COUNTERPOINTS - E.G., songs written as "duets" with totally separate superimposed melodies; rounds like Dona Nobis Pacem (where the tune & timing change from part to part); songs that have canticles; totally separate songs that can be superimposed on because they have the same chord pattern & structure; songs where the SATB parts involve counterpoint or the like
