Children's song Tactopoetry, παιδικο τραγουδι Μαζευουμε, Τακτοποιουμε, μουσικη απο την Κατερινα

 

Going down the street in Varkiza, a city by the sea near Athens, there is a kindergarten.

Yesterday morning a young teacher could be heard singing to the little kids in the garden, μαζευουμε, μαζευουμε, κακτοποιουμε. It means we pick our things, we pick up our thinks, we tidy up.

I realized it was a good idea, came back, played on a Yamaha PS-3, finding that the key is C sharp major, not C.

Below are the interesting notes she used (most black keyboard keys), and the harmony I humbly realized they imply. Her permission was asked to publish this.

It works well as it helps me tidying up better.

(La,Si,Do,Re,Mi,Fa,Sol) is (A,B,C,D,E,F,G)

Tactopoetry comes etymologically from ταξις=order, ποιω=to make, create, hence ποιηση=poetry.

Τακτοποιω in Hellenic means to tidy up.
