Annie Laurie × Londonderry
Even if you don’t know the title, as soon as you hear it you’ll say “I know this!”—that’s Annie Laurie, one of Scotland’s representative folk songs.
Its gentle melody, evocative of vast lands and a meandering river, is superbly relaxing.
Londonderry Air is a famous Irish folk tune, well known as a practice piece for piano and violin.
These two songs are linked in their praise of the natural rhythms of life that breathe in the cold northern lands, and when sung together they create an exceptionally beautiful harmony.
This Wonderful World × Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Although What a Wonderful World has a jazzy, mature vibe and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is hugely popular with children—and their styles are completely different—when you match their tempos and sing them together, a beautiful harmony emerges.
What a Wonderful World is a song about human connection and hope for the future.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, as its title suggests, depicts the twinkling stars in the night sky and is beloved by children.
Try singing the tender song and the cute one together to experience how well they pair.
Ten Indians × Promise
“Ten Little Indians” is sung and performed in a variety of settings: as an assignment piece in eurhythmics classes, as a song for getting familiar with English in English classes, and as a hand-play song in nurseries and kindergartens.
It truly is the definition of a versatile song—an instantly recognizable tune that repeats the same melody over and over.
“Yakusoku” is a well-known piece used as a farewell or graduation song in kindergartens and nurseries.
Its lyrics, which depict taking off toward tomorrow with hope in one’s heart, can move even adults.
Singing these two songs at the same time.

might just take you back to childhood.
Hometown Sky × On the Bridge of Avignon
Although their atmosphere and tempo differ, “Home on the Range” and “Sur le pont d’Avignon” are both heartwarming pieces that pair beautifully.
For “Home on the Range,” the key is to sing at a relaxed pace with rich emotion, picturing your own hometown and the like.
For “Sur le pont d’Avignon,” the key is to sing rhythmically, as if enjoying the swaying of the bridge.
It’s also a good idea to connect the two with guitar or piano so the music doesn’t break at the transition.
Both are friendly and easy to sing, making them perfect for anyone trying a partner song for the first time.
Banquet Song × One Million Times 'I Love You'tuki. × Rake
A wonderful harmony resonates between Tuki’s “Bansanka” and Rake’s “1,000,000 Times ‘I Love You.
’” Since “Bansanka” has a slightly faster tempo, when pairing it with “1,000,000 Times ‘I Love You,’” try finding a tempo that lets you sing without disrupting either song’s world.
If a man and a woman sing together, you can also enjoy a duet vibe.
Both songs have profound lyrics, so by fully understanding their meanings before you sing, you should be able to create an even more moving harmony.
Biting the Second Hand × CharlesZutomayo × Balloon
Despite their simplicity, the melodies woven by the guitar and vocals in the hugely popular songs “Byoushin wo Kamu” and “Charles” ache and resonate in the heart.
The lyrics, which capture the frustration and bittersweetness of love, are especially striking.
Both songs are on the difficult side, so first practice each one on its own until you can sing it solidly.
Then, when you combine the two, try singing with your breathing perfectly in sync so it doesn’t feel heavy from being overly cautious.
You’ll definitely wow everyone with, “I can’t believe these two songs fit together so well!”

Frog Chorus × Snail
Two songs I recommend when introducing partner songs into recreation for the first time are “Frog Chorus” and “Snail.
” They’re widely known and can be sung at a lively tempo, which is key.
This is just my personal opinion, but if you first decide on a slightly slower tempo for “Frog Chorus” and then match “Snail” to it, both become easier to sing.
Of course, be careful not to get thrown off by your partner as you sing.
You can use this in choir practice and even as brain training, so give it a try!
