night owl chat – more musical flash mobs

By Liberal Librarian

It is, quite clear, that the past 48 hours have been hell. We’ve been put through the wringer. We’ve had our hearts torn out and trampled upon.

But that’s the thing about being human. Tragedies occur and you don’t see a way out. But there always is. Beauty endures. Light endures.

So, a night owl chat for those who endure.


Tchaikovsky – Waltz of the Flowers



Ravel – Bolero



“Do the Locomotion”



One I posted before, but it’s the perfect ending: Beethoven – “Ode to Joy”



************Darkness only wins when we stop searching for the light.

****************This is your uplift night owl chat.

and to Liberal Librarian!

You sooth our souls!

We endure!

Okay... I had to just add this one. I love it! It speaks volumes~

Maria:
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with

Child (Gretyl):
ABC

Maria:
When you sing you begin with do re mi

Children:
Do re mi

Maria:
Do re mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do re mi

Children:
Do re mi

Maria:
Do re mi fa so la ti

Oh let's see if I can make it easier hmmm:
Doe- a deer, a female deer
Ray- a drop of golden sun
Me- a name i call myself
Far- a long long way to run
Sew- a needle pulling thread
La- a note to follow so
Tea- a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do oh oh oh


Child:
Do

Maria:
A deer, a female deer

Children:
Re

Maria:
A drop of golden sun

Children:
Mi

Maria:
A name I call myself

Children:
Fa

Maria:
A long long way to run

All:
So- a needle pulling thread
La

Maria:
A note to follow so
Te

Children:
A drink with jam and bread

Maria:
That will bring us back to do

Children:
Doe- a deer, a female deer
Ray- a drop of golden sun
Me- a name i call myself
Far- a long long way to run

All:
Sew- a needle pulling thread
La- a note to follow so
Tea- a drink with jam and bread

Maria:
That will bring us back to do
Do re mi fa so la te do so do

Now children do re mi fa so and so on
Are only the tools we use to build a song
Onces you have these notes in your head
You can sing a million different tones by mixing them up
Like this: so do la fa mi do re
Can you do that




Child (Brigitta):
But it doesn't mean anything

Maria:
So we put in the words.
One word per every note.
Like this:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Together:

All:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

We can do this if we put our notes together. It's a very good place to start.
