Cantata 147 Recorder and Pitched Percussion 2-Part Play-Along

Cantata 147 by Johann Sebastian Bach - 1685-1750

This play-along video was created for two pitched C instruments. In my elementary music classroom, that would be recorders and metallophones. However, you could use either pitched instruments like bells, xylophones, flutes, ukuleles, possibly boomwhackers, virtual instruments, or other instruments your students can access. For practicing purposes, isolate one of the parts and also highlight the middle to work on the passage that has different notes than the other passages.

Though this video is also on my YouTube channel, it works much better on this SoundSlice channel (https://www.soundslice.com/slices/tmKzc/) as you can make the screen less busy by only showing the video or isolating the parts.

Manipulatives

You can download a copy of the manipulatives which includes the recorder fingerings for the phases and the notation for the phrases, plus the score. It ends with the YouTube link and the SoundSlice link. If the YouTube video is too “busy” for your students, I encourage you to use the Soundslice link and use the settings to show one or both parts, video or music, and more.
