Bingo's Travels
This piece is written in Rondo form. In "Bingo's Travels," the Bingo theme returns after Bingo visits the "Erie Canal", "Streets of Laredo" and "Camptown Races." When we sing the Bingo song, we begin by singing all the letters of his name and then leaving one out after each verse. In this arrangement, I have reversed that order, adding one letter and leaving out the music each time we ring the theme. In the finale, we ring the Bingo theme, shouting the letters and ringing the notes. Enjoy this piece: ring and shout with enthusiasm! Optional Orff Ensemble parts available from publisher.
