Viva Vernal Equinox
From Plank Road Publishing
by Teresa JenningsRight away, your kids will get that there is more to this song than a lovely or poetic song of spring when they sing, "One revolution. Earth travels once a year around the sun." That makes this song a great tool for cross curricular teaching and learning. This Latin style tune will get kids talking about all of the scientific elements and principles mentioned in the song, and it can be part of a performance or all-school focus on science or the solar system. The tune is all in unison for ease of learning and remembering, and you will appreciate that the melody is reinforced in the excellent jazz ensemble recording. (from Music K-8, Vol. 18, No. 4)
