PARTNER SONGS

Partner songs are two different songs that have a similar harmonic structure and length, so they may be sung together. A quodlibet (or quodlibot) is a four-section song (or four songs) that can be sung together. Sometimes the partner songs work only if one of the songs is sung twice, or slowed. Some are simple tunes that could be played on recorder or barred instruments instead of sung. Orff accompaniments usually work well. Some combinations of these songs work better than others. An effective lesson can also be taught analyzing where 2 songs dont seem to go together. Row, Row, Row, Your Boat Here Comes a Bluebird Frere Jacques/Are you Sleeping?
