Y KIDS DO WATCH MOVIES. They have the amazing ability to watch the same movie over a few times with minimal boredom. I remember being able to do this myself, long ago, and memorising useless Disney dialogue and libretto.
Amazingly enough my son picked up a useful fragment of melody.
Back at the Easter Vigil, I was getting stuck on this fragment at the end of the Confitemini verse for the Alleuia before the Gospel.
I’ve colored it in to pick out the jumps I was having trouble with.
My son said it was easy, as the tune was similar to the theme music from How to Train Your Dragon:
He actually pointed this out last year, but I dismissed it, actually crossing out the notes on our copies of the music and skipping them. This year I was wondering who had been scribbling in our choir books until my ever helpful son reminded me. The tune came to me more easily so we sang the notes as written.
Have you found any other fragments like this?
