Water Samples 02:53
lyrics
Welcome to the River Farm Forest School auditory tour of water. We collected water samples from around our building and campus, and here they are! Walking through the mud Squelching through the mud Jumping in a puddle Tossing a rock in the pond Stirring pond with stick Watering can in pond Rain barrel Water fountain Sloshing water bottles Gurgling water Big swig Bathroom toilet Bathroom sink Thank you for joining us on this auditory tour of water. We hope you enjoyed!

lyrics
Winter weather Winter precipitation Winter weather Winter precipitation Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain! All four start the same Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain! All four start the same As snow And if it never melts It stays snow And never melts But if snow melts Then freezes again Before it hits the ground Than it’s sleet, my friend If snow melts Then freezes again When it hits the ground Freezing rain, my friend If snow melts Never freezes again Just hits the ground Than it’s rain, my friend Winter weather Winter precipitation Winter weather Winter precipitation Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain! Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain! Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain! Winter precipitation

Hej Pada Pada 01:27
lyrics
Raindrops are falling from the skies Tired and sleepy, close your eyes Tired and sleepy, while the skies are weeping Weeping and singing you their lullabies Hej padá, padá rosenka Spaly by moje očenka Spaly by moje, spaly by aj tvoje Spaly by, duša má, oboje

about

Water and winter inspired this collection of seven songs. "Winter Weather" is the fourth release produced by guest music instructor Maddi in collaboration with her students at River Farm Forest School in Alexandria, VA.

We created "Mary's Glass of Water" by striking water glasses. We collected sound samples of water from in and around our school building for "Water Samples.""Always Changing" explores the ever-shifting states of one our most precious earthly resources (water, of course). "Winter Weather" explains how clouds full of snow can transform into other forms of winter precipitation. In "We Are A Rainstorm," we used our bodies to mimic the soundscape of a passing storm. "Hej Pada Pada" is a Slovakian lullaby for rainy days. "Seal Song" is an old Icelandic song sang in celebration of successful winter hunts.
