The Songs We Sang at Tuckahoe Elementary School in the Week of 5/6-5/10, 2013
Posted on: May 15, 2013
This week was notable for many reasons, Mother’s Day and a visit from family among them. Two big things happened for me at Tuckahoe Elementary School, too. I got to share Sing Books for the first time in Miss Robin’s pre-school class (they are adorable in the class expertly run). And, perfectly suited for the end of the week, on Friday I performed my 200th Sing Books of school year since I started keeping track in October. I’d begun to write down the songs we sang in each class to make sure that I don’t repeat the same song too often in each class. The notebook also helps me make sure I keep the repertoire fresh and current for the seasons, events and curriculum. And, another part of the log is for recording the many requests kids put in. When a child is brave and engaged enough to request a song for the next visit, I like to honor that request!
We sang a whole bunch of fabulous songs and learned a lot in the process. I introduced “Beethoven’s Wig” and we talked about how Ludwig van Beethoven did not actually wear a wig and looked at a painting of Beethoven. We also talked about the lyric “His wig is even bigger than the wig of Bach,” looked at a portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach which shows that Bach DID wear a wig! What a great opportunity to sing a song to the tune of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and talk about classical composers to boot!
We sang books this week in the rooms of Miss Campbell (K), Miss Robin (Pre-K), Ms. Morgan (K), Ms. Mason (K), Ms. Allen (2), Ms. Howard (2), Mr. Mitchell (K), Ms. Shorter (K).
In each class, we sang a selection from the following list. The songs are listed below in no particular order:

A delightful week of singing, celebrating Earth Day and April is Poetry Month, in the classes of Mr. Grasso (3), Ms. Campbell (K), Ms. Morgan (K), Ms. Everett (K), Ms. Mason (K), Ms. Allen (2), Ms. Howard (2), Mr. Mitchell (K), Ms. Shorter (K). I was also excited for the chance to use my new 19 note soprano chromatic glockenspiel. It’s going to take a while to learn how to use is and discover new uses, but even just a couple bell tones for “There’s a Train Out for Dreamland” and “The Big Bell and the Little Bell” were quite fun!

A LITTLE MADNESS IN THE SPRING
Emily Dickinson
A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!

A Little Nonsense Relished
Phrase by Roald Dahl
From the book CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR
From the movie WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Sing to an Adaptation of Twinkle Little Star
Sing this little tune with Emily:
https://soundcloud.com/singbookswithemily/a-little-nonsense-now-and-then
To view or print this song sheet, click here:
a little nonsense relished
**********************
“A little nonsense now and then
is relished by the wisest men.”
Roald Dahl via Willy Wonka
From CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELEVATOR, by Roald Dahl, Chapter 12, Willy Wonka says this to Grandma Josephine.
Also from the movie WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, screenplay by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka sings this to Mr. Salt.
**********************
I always loved how Gene Wilder (as Willy Wonka in the Movie) turned this quote into a little song, to the tune of “Twinkle Little Star.” This seems altogether fitting, since the Mad Hatter sings “Twinkle Little Bat,” an adaptation of ”Twinkle Little Star,” at the tea party in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Willy Wonka (at least in the movie) is so Mad-Hatter-like!

**********************
This poem is an example of a COUPLET.
A couplet is one of the shortest forms of poetry, consisting of two successive lines of verse that usually rhyme, have the same meter, and often form a complete thought.

When I picked up the children at school today, my daughter Eloise told me that one of her friends was singing a funny tune,
“I would be nice to marry a pickle!”
We both confirmed that the little tune was in fact hilarious. I’ve always been fond of pickles, but also of the word, “pickle.” When I was a kid, my grandmother had a good friend named Mary Louise who told my sister and I to call her “Aunt Mary Pickle,” which we always did. Occasionally my grandmother would take my sister and I to visit Aunt Mary Pickle and her husband (whose name, unfortunately I do not remember) who lived in a small town outside of Indianapolis. It was a drive to get there. They lived on wooded land with a clearing in the middle in a converted 19th century school house, painted red and complete with small cupola on top which housed a big brass bell that you could still ring!
OK, back to the song. Eloise and I were taking a little break in between items of homework and she sang, “It would be nice to marry a pickle.” And then she continued on, “We’ll never get divorced!” And then she said, “No, it should be, ‘The marriage will be dill!” Then she said, “Get it? Dill means GREAT and you know, it’s a dill pickle.” So we kept going until Eloise finished writing this funny little song:
PICKLE SONG: IT WOULD BE NICE TO MARRY A PICKLE
Words and Tune by Eloise Pauline Gleichenhaus
(With a little inspiration from her friends at school)
It would be nice to marry a pickle!
The marriage will be dill.
We’ll never get divorced, oh no!
Our children are Lilly and Bill.
