Well, there's a repetitive chorus in this one - "You wanting learn harmony?"

Permalink

"Sure, I'd love to."

Permalink

So Pen sings for her the harmony part for this song. The song is entirely in Samarian, which Gloria will have to learn by rote, but the song itself is not that hard.

Permalink

Gloria will probably get a few words wrong the first few times through, but she picks up the song quickly.

Permalink

And now they can harmonize together! This is the most fun part of singing.

Permalink

It is! And it does not interfere with baking.

Permalink

Hooray!

"What do those word mean?" Gloria asks when the song's over. "They're not in any language I recognize."

Permalink

"Is Samarian song. Mostly knowing Samarian songs and Edori, not as many English."

Permalink

"Oh, right. It's a bit strange, that you're from another world and speak English, come to think of it. So what was the song about?"

Permalink

"Is about Jovah bringing ancestors all to Samaria, in hands. Not really happen like so but makes good song."

Permalink

"Huh. Well, it definitely is a good song. Do you want to learn some songs in English while you're here?"

Permalink

"Okay!"

Permalink

"I think most of the sheet music I have is for religious songs..."

Permalink

"Is okay. Singing those all times anyway."

Permalink

"It's not a problem that our religions are different?" she checks.

Permalink

"No-o? Maybe yours even right one, here, some worlds having gods."

Permalink

"Alright," she says, takes a moment to parse the rest of that sentence, and decides to address that later. If at all. "So the hymnal's over here...I think Amazing Grace would be a good place to start."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

So Gloria teaches Pen some hymns. She also remembers she has an internet, and googles sheet music for some more modern songs she likes.

Permalink

Pen is used to different conventions of sheet music, but she figures out this version reasonably well in short order.

Permalink

It helps, presumably if Gloria sings along with the notes on the page.

Permalink

Yes, Pen is also pretty good at learning things by ear.

Permalink

Then they can sing various songs in English, religious and non-.

...And eat cake, right?
