08 May 02 - 05:47 AM (#706569) Subject: Teach Your Children descant From: GUEST,rclogston@hotmail.com Hi, gang. I'd just like to know if anyone here knows the words to the descant that Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young sing during the second verse of "Teach Your Children." Actually, I suppose it would be Crosby, Stills, and Young that sing it, while Graham Nash sings "And you / of tender years / can't know the fears / that your elders grew by." I guess the fear that my tender ears have grown into is STILL not being able to make out all the words they sing. Thanx. |

I don't know that I ever did much to teach mine other than by being around and hoping they would pick up the right values through hints and some sort of osmosis. They've turned out pretty OK and I don't even know if my wife and I can claim much of the credit, but maybe we didn't do too badly. Maybe helping them to find the right peer group is at least as important as anything which we say explicitly. There's a lot to be said for adopting the song as an alternative to some fairly crap national anthems, as was suggested on another thread recently. |

09 May 02 - 10:09 PM (#707832) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Teach Your Children descant From: GUEST,leeneia Just thought I'd pass on a useful tip I got at a workshop. To produce a descant easily, take the tenor part of a song, raise it a couple of octaves and fancy it up a bit. It works. |

05 Nov 17 - 07:10 PM (#3886957) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Teach Your Children descant From: BrooklynJay While the liner notes (cited above) have the second line of the descant as And do you fear, in all the live recordings I've heard (YouTube, primarily) the line is And do you care. Jay |
