Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Romeo and Juliet (Adam McNaughtan)
Subject: RE: Lyrics req. Romeo and Juliet by Adam McN
Thanks SOOO much for posting the words, Adam. I have been one of the audience screaming either Montague or Capulet on a number of occasions! Must admit I even sang the chorus in Verona when visiting the alleged balcony!
And it's a great tune - in 4 parts, so the chorus is one part and the verse the other 3, I think? It always gets people going in a ceilidh dance!
I seem to remember the oranges bit being taught to help people know what 6/8 jig rhythm was, and there's something else involving other fruits or vegetables for other rhythms such as strathspey or march.
