Fugue Fun

   

Play the first 5 notes of the Bach's g minor fugue as everyone sings along "la, mi, do, ti, la" with the music. These first 5 notes are the theme of this fugue. Fugue's have a theme that reappears several times in different voices, starting sometimes on a high note and sometimes a low note. Have everyone sit in a circle with 9 sticks in the middle. Everyone drums a steady beat as the music plays. Anytime the theme appears, try to be the first to grab a stick. If you grab a stick at the incorrect time, you have to put it back. Did you find the 9 times the fugue theme appears? Try the activity again with other fugues.
