Softly Sings The Donkey

This funny 4 part canon has a range of less than an octave. This can make it useful for boys whose voices are breaking. (An added bonus is that the words appeal to boys!)
A great song for preparing and practising 6/8 time.
A useful song for preparing and practising the melodic elements 'fa' and 'low ti'.
This song could be sung with the party game 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. The person who is 'up' can be blindfolded and then spun around during the first 2 lines of the song. They then have until the end of the song to pin the tail on the donkey.
