Lutheran Rhythm
“A family of musicians took shelter for the night
In the little harbor church of St. Cecilia”
— Paul Simon, Rhythm of the Saints
“The canonized go on.”
— Philip Roth in
today’s New York Times,
“Why Is This Man Smiling?“
“Have the ensemble clap the rhythm of the first four treble clef bars of Bach’s Minuet in G, and then play it with correct pitches or in a unison single pitch. Next, have them clap the bass clef rhythm and play it either in unison or with correct pitches. Finally, have one group play the treble part while the other group claps the bass part, and then reverse roles as above.”
Wow! Music ed!
