This week in our online class we sing a song we call “Tra La La,” which originated from Germany and Switzerland. The original title of the tune has more to it: “Rosestock, Holderbluet – Landler.” A landler is a traditional Bavavarian/Austrian/German/Swiss folk dance, usually played in 3/4 (waltz-like) time. In our version we laugh, we sing, we laugh some more. In this video we may not quite be hearing landlers, but we do get a chance to enjoy a mix of music from roughtly the same region. Let’s laugh, sing, play the alphorn and YODEL!
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site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date.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!
