CHILDREN'S LITERATURE - BOOKS TO SING

Let It Snow
Written and Illustrated by Maryann Cocca-Leffler
ISBN: 978-0-545-20880-2

Read the story (each verse told in rhyme) to the children inviting them to respond with a simple "mi-re-do" pattern each time they hear "let it fall." The next time the story is shared, sing the words of each verse using the melody of the familiar piece "Ding Dong Digga-Digga Dong" (which can be found in the Orff Schulwerk, Vol.1 and in music curriculum series).

When you get the the end of the melody, sing the words "but then" on d and t, -- sing the rest of the words on this page as a l.-m pattern. This will give the story an interlude using the relative minor (la based). Sing the end of this passage (found on the next page) on mi-re-do to complete the interlude.
The next verse begins again with the "Ding Dong" melody.

The story can also be sung to the melody of "Twinkle, Twinkle."

Enjoy the story and keep singing. :)
