Old Ark (The)

This Spiritual is brilliant for:

Preparing and practising the melodic element 're'.
Preparing and practising the rhythmic element 'syncopa' (quaver, crotchet, quaver [eight note, quarter note, eighth note]).
Teaching 'do pentatonic scale' (the last line has a descending do pentatonic scale).
Working with the tonic triad. (The intervals appear in the song as d-m; m-d; d-m-s; d-s; m-s and s-m.)
