We end our Eastern European adventure with our twisted take on a Lithuanian sutartine.
Earlier this week we sang “Tureja Liepa,” an ancient song from Lithuania that conjures the image of a lime tree swaying in a strong wind. Over the course of our Eastern European season we found many ways to take old songs and transform them into tunes we could sing with kids in class. Inspired by the fact that the original “Tureja Liepa” is a Lithuanian sutartine, a song often sung in rounds, we count to three, one by one, then we raise our arms like swaying lime trees and break off branches.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
