In this lesson for secondary level concert choir, students will touch upon almost every national standard. Listening for cadences, improvising cadences and composing consequent and antecedent variations are highlights in the first half of the lesson, which focuses on "question/answer" writing in music. The second half of the lesson is an analysis of the 4 lines of the text, as each line includes a month and a statement describing the month. Analyzing how each line correlates to one another is a vital aspect to understanding the development of the piece.
