From: AllisonA(Animaterra) I'm planning to spend some time next in my elementary (US) music classroom teaching songs and recorder tunes and dances from the Renaissance. Do any of you good folks know of a resource for singing games (along the lines of play-party games) that go back that far? Only one I can think of is Nuts in May, which we play to death in, you guessed it... May... |

From: Q (Frank Staplin) There are two books which are indispensible: Iona and Peter Opie, 1985, "The Singing Game," Oxford University Press. Gomme, Alice B., 1984, The Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland, Thames and Hutton. The former, in particular, discusses European and other antecedents and earlier forms. Peace, your links don't work for me. |
