OH QUE BUENO

Tune Information

Title: OH QUE BUENO
Meter: Irregular
Incipit: 33314 44333 12223
Key: D Major
Source: Puerto Rican folk hymn
Copyright: Public Domain

Notes

OH QUE BUENO is a simple tune with musical phrases bound by one syncopated rhythm, a typical trait of many popular tunes from Latin America. The tune is a fine example of the Puerto Rican corito ("a little song"). It is intended for unison singing, but choirs may wish to try singing in harmony. Dale Grotenhuis (PHH 4) prepared the harmonization in 1985. Use light accompaniment with guitars or piano; improvise some additional percussion rhythms.
