HOW TO USE THIS PIECE

This well-known German folk song includes the German text which consists of 12 easy words. Further, there is an eight measure introduction which is written in four-parts (madrigal style). The remainder is a round. The point that needs to be made here is this: What a great piece to experience the German language and four-part singing all in one easy piece!! Singing four-parts in German will give your group a terrific morale boost. They will be singing the same type music as the high-schoolers. There is still another great advantage to this piece because it is a great crowd pleaser. By using hand-held percussion instruments in lieu of clapping on the letters of the word "BINGO" adds an excitement to the piece that grabs the listeners' attention. This is a standard that you will use over and over.

Access the four-part variable voicing charts to view the options that are available to sing the piece with different age groups.
