Musical Rainbow (PdA) - Year-End Recital - 2011
Terry Fox Theatre, Port Coquitlam, Sunday, June 19th at 2pm (Back)

Here is a list of the songs we will perform at our year-end concerts. Please practice all the words at home. Copy and paste the songs you need. All children do not need to know all of the songs. I have indicated special verses for the various levels. If you have any questions give me a call- 778-987-7706 or send an email to mrimusic@shaw.ca

PROPS: Yes, I would like as many children as possible to bring their own little props for the songs.. This is much easier than having to pass things out during the recital. Green, Blue and Purple please bring your recorders. ALL STUDENTS - A shaker.

DANKE
German song by Martin Schneider, (adaptation by Mr. I)

DANKE, for this beautiful morning,
DANKE, for each new day
DANKE, that I have no worries, they've all gone away.

DANKE, for all my good friends.
DANKE, for my family
DANKE, for this joyful music. It makes me happy.

DANKE, for the school I go to.
DANKE, for my teachers there.
DANKE, for the sound of laughter ringing in the air.

DANKE, for this beautiful morning,
DANKE, for each new day
DANKE, that I have no worries, they've all gone away.

DANKE is a German word for 'Thank you'.
It is pronounced, (dunk-eh)
This is the song I heard sung by a class of school children in the magnificent
Cathedral in Trier, Germany.

These are all nonsense syllables to convey the sound of the SPINNING WHEEL. We had fun singing it faster and faster with each repetition. On the words RET SET SET the children clapped the wooden spoons. You can use any instrument, or simply clap your hands on these parts.

Repea first verse and Chorus

IN CANADA
(Mr. I, Jan. 2002)

CHORUS: In Canada, In Canada, It's peaceful here in Canada.
Canada, you are my home. My peaceful, peaceful home.

In the world today, It is safe to say,
Canadians are thought of as friends.
We are gentle, we are true, We are peaceful through and through.
We have learned to share and to keep our hearts open.
Yes, we are all friends. We're just simple bits of thread,
In this tapestry, this world we call our home.

CANADA IN MY POCKET
(Green, Blue & Purple pick any verse. They are to bring their own coins pictures and stand to sing their chose verse)
Michael Mitchell

Chorus: I've got Canada in my pocket. A little bit of history.
A penny and a nickel and a quarter and a dime
mean a lot to you and me.
It's more than pocket money. They're the symbols of our land.
they're pictures of important things for which this country stands.

The maple leaf, the maple leaf, It's a beautiful sight to see.
It waves, 'Hello' to us below from the top of a maple tree.
and with every year that passes. It grows like you and me.
So, should we all grow straight and tall like the lovely maple tree.

The beaver, oh the beaver, It's a beautiful sight to see.
He's a happy, furry animal like a teddy bear with teeth.
He's never ever lazy. He works all night and day.
Building houses for his family. He's got no time for play.

Chorus

The schooner, oh the schooner. It's a beautiful sight to see.
It's a great big wooden sailing ship that can sail across the sea.
And it brings to other countries, the things that people need
And it brings back things like chocolate bars and books for us to read.

The caribou the caribou, it's a beautiful sight to see
He's a really big strong animal I'm sure you'll all agree.
He looks like Santa's reindeer. And he loves it when the wind blows cold.
So he lives up north with the polar bears, cause he likes the ice and snow.

Chorus.
