INSPIRATIONAL SONG FOR OBAMA DAY
We warmed up the voices with the call and response: LOVE SOMEBODY YES I DO eventually producing the good strong sound, needed for our next song.
Having introduced it last week, we worked at the song of celebration 'BRAND NEW DAY' which turned out to be completely appropriate with respect to the Inauguration Ceremony taking place across the Atlantic later that day.
Tides of time and rivers of song _ legends that whisper from days long gone _
Rocks of ages make us strong _ as the years go rolling away _
Celebrate the power they bring _ turn to welcome strangers in _
Coast to coast the bells they ring _ to mark a brand new day _ .
Paul Wilson and Marilyn Tucker.
After coffee, we returned to the Orff's CARILLON DE VENDÔME, the two voice parts blending nicely together over the basses intoning the DIN DON. Some practice on the instruments followed leading to making a start on the instrumental parts for the piece. Flutes (or glasses, as in the score) will be added next week.
