“THE GHOST OF TOM”

Description: This was originally composed as a vocal round and its original composer is unknown. A round is where multiple singers sing the same melody but begin at different times. This arrangement emulates that by using your two hands. Notice how your left hand enters with the same melody two measures/bars after the right hand has commenced the melody. Here are the lyrics to this piece (they’re rather creepy!): “Have you seen the ghost of Tom? Long white bones with the skin all gone. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Wouldn’t it be chilly with no skin on?”

Level: Late Elementary (what does this mean?)
