Double Songs

Work
The new song A Guiding Light acts as a counter-melody to the children's song Twinkle, Twinkle.

Lyrics

Performance
Always start by establishing the Footsies at Level 0.
         In this case, 0+2 for Twinkle, Twinkle which will start on L(eft foot),
                             A Guiding Lightis at a larger level and will start on R, remember to wait.
                   Beat R, L, R before you start singing.
Sing Twinkle, Twinkle followed by A Guiding Light and make a loop of the 2 songs,
                   leaving no "space" between them.
         The children, in unison, will gradually join you.
Then you divide the participants in 2 equal groups,
         start the first group singing Twinkle, Twinkle, and after they sing the last note,
         start the second group singing Twinkle, Twinkle, on L,
                   the first group will continue with A Guiding Light, starting on the following R.
         This produces the polyphony of the 2 simultaneous songs,
                   and the loops in both groups allow you to keep it going as long as required.
