Zacodi
Codi – a warm-up game from West Africabody into harmony (Band)
Perfect for the beginning of the year – general, band or chorus
Begin with circle – simultaneous imitation of gesture and text
Add snapsAdd names – person to the right on the first beat and person to the left on the second beatAdd “switch” – all players move to a new spotPlay it as an “out” game – if you’re not on the beat or have the wrong name, you’re out When the player is out, she “graduates” to picking a card that indicates either playing the call (“Zacodi Codi”) or the response (improvised two beats in C pentatonic). We will use this concept later for an improvisational section to a standard pieceIn band – give whole band plays Zacodi Codi on tonic and then response in sections – then Zacodi Codi on I chord (only use one note)– response on V7 chord (only use one note) – explore using more than one note in the chord for improvisation – decide on melody for the call in the groupAlso can assign a tricky rhythm you are working on (or in the score) or note or interval to the responseSlide3

Bibi Maryam – body+voice connection – lyrical – phrasing – analyzing a vocal score
-
First teacher directed – imitate teacher – drum shadow with recorded music playing and participants play drum on beginning of 8 beat phrases - Begin walking on the half note but playing the downbeat of the four measure phrase.Teacher chooses new leaderPractice gypsy with a partner – clockwise/counter clockwiseAdd arm with gypsyBring couples to a circleAdd element of grand right and left – teacher sings “pass by the first person, pass by the second person, pass by the third person and end up with yourself.”Add in arms up going in and “bringing down blessings” when we walk backwards into our spotsFirst section – in and out two times Second section – grand right/left and dervish turn Analyze the score to find out:
1. How many times we will perform the dance all the way through
2. What we will do with movement during the canon section
3. What we will do for the coda at the end.
