Songs lyrics
for some of the songs we are currently learning

Aka si rekisho, alma si rekisho da. Korde lehini-i, valma si rekisho da.  Dedau deda mebdina o, chi mitso da.  Here is a file

Listen to your Heart   audio here  I think that you can hear the lyrics clearly enough, and this is just a guide.  I am singing it at a lower pitch than we are doing it in the groups because the bottom line is too low for most of you!  So, sorry top liners, you will be higher  than this!

Help me Rhonda  audio here  the full version to give you a map of how it fits together

2020 Concert list with lyrics and audios added in due course

When Two or More.  This is a traditional song which I have arranged for three parts.  For ease it starts in unison, and the middle part continues to sing the main tune.

As I went walking  a traditional round, very good for extending the breath control!  (I've called it cuckoo on the mp3 link just to confuse you)

Listen to your heart  by Polly Bolton  The tune is in the middle part which we sing in unison for the first verse (you simply keep singing this part in the different verses.

Zoom Video project

                                              HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT  WELL DONE TO ALL CONCERNED

Exciting news is that we are starting a project to compile a video  of our joint singing in this time of lock down.  
We shall be using the song Until We Meet Again written by Cleo Lane, for these times.

Here are the audio links for you to use and really learn your part from.  You will then video yourself singing your part, strongly and confidently  made possible by the fact that you can have it going in your ears as you sing!!   Nearly the same as having your best singing buddy standing next to you!!!

Alto
Tenor
Bass

Here is a pdf with instructions from Richard on how to do the video

For those who like the whole thing here is all the parts together

​I realize that the alto tenor and bass lines are not too clear at the beginning of the audio, so here are the three lines of ooing (dumming in the bass line)   alto    tenor    bass


Test run song                        Here is the finished product!
We are going to do a test run with a song we know so that you can trial the videoing part of this without the worry of learning a new song too!!
Take me by the hand

 As you can imagine, getting all this up and running online for our zoom meetings takes quite alot of time and work.  We are going to thank Richard for his work in helping us with this by asking Marilyn to buy some wine for him.  I'm suggesting £5 each per video and the simplest thing is to pay this to me and I can pass it on in one sum to her.  Please go  to my bank account 070116 a/c 42255800 or if you have a paypal account you can go here..  If you too have a Nationwide account, then let me know you have made a donation as your name (very annoyingly) wont come up on my statement.  Thank you so much. xxx 


I Can see Clearly Now by Johnny Nash arranged by me.  I hope you enjoy it, pop me some money in my paypal or bank account (see just above for details) if you feel inclined     Here is the score  

The only greater joy to singing on your own is singing with other people!
