Teaching Parts for U tempu de una minnana

The following are extracts from the Corsica 2010 Village Harmony teaching session where we learned the paghjella “U tempu de una minnana”.

I provide these links so folks can learn each of the parts, then teach them to others.

Patty, Larry, and Jean Etienne taught us first the lead [melody], then the bass, then  had us sing the lead and bass together.

And then, while the rest of us did the lead and bass, Jean Etienne gave us various examples of how the tercio might sing and ornament that part. There are four different examples here.

U Temp – Lead

U Temp – Bass

U Tempu – Lead with Bass

U Tempu – Jean Etienne Tercio version 1

U Tempu – Jean Etienne Tercio version 2

U Tempu – Jean Etienne Tercio version 3

The following link is to my much-annotated lyrics sheet for “U tempu de una minnana” [and also for “Da Sant’Andria di Boziu” and “Vai Vai”].
