Phil The Fluter's Ball (A Major)

This 'humorous story in song' is great for:

Singing melodic thirds (m'd, r't; ld', tr') and broken tonic triads (dms and smd).
Preparing and practising the melodic element 'ti' (there's no 'fa' in this song).
Working with anacrusis and discovering how each phrase essentially has it's own anacrusis.
Singing an octave (from d to d')

Historical notes are included!
