1-8-20 1st Period

by: Lizzy

Today, we took notes on the songs from The Lion King.  We learned about several new vocabulary words:  polyphony, polyrhythm, cross-rhythm, call and response, repetition and improvisation.  We listened to "Grasslands Chant" from Lion King and tried to pick out examples of our vocabulary words.  Then, we listened to a less tribal song called "How the Other Half Lives" from Thoroughly Modern Millie and tried to pick out the same examples in this different style.
