Rock Me Slow - A choir song in 3 parts.

Rock me Slow was written on the way home from a solo retreat in the Brceon Beacons in 2019 and has become a firm choir favourite.
It is a song meditation on finding Peace through acknowledging Power and Purpose.
​
This song was taught for SONGLINE from Singing Mamas Choir in October 2020 and features in the SONGLINE songbook.

Moonkissed - A choir song in 4 parts.

This was written in response to one of my choirs noting that there didn't seem to be any funky or bluesy winter songs. Well, now there is!
​Feel the cold in the winter air
​This song was taught for SONGLINE from Singing Mamas Choir in December, 2020.

Born To Sing - A choir song sung as a round.

This song was inspired by this beautiful artwork by the lovely and talented Stu McLellan which I have up next to my computer at home.
Check out his work and his etsy shop, where you can also buy the print that inspired this song!
Stu kindly gave permission to use his words as lyrics for BORN TO SING.
This is song medicine for the earth and for our voices interwoven into the fabric of nature.
I will record a full video soon but for a flavour see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqO5j8-6x3k

The Beat of the Road of Life - A harmony song in 3 parts

Picture
This song was written for Vera Maria Mensinga, a shining light and Brazilian goddess of mischief who left this world on 19th July 2020. Vera and I sang together in the Heart of London Threshold Choir. She was a kindred spirit and lover of life, and when she was dying she shared her journey with us, staying connected online and allowing us to sing with and for her.
​Whilst trying to process her process I sat down to write, imagining a soothing threshold choir song would emerge but Vera seems to have had other ideas and danced me along the road of discovering this song!
​She heard this song in life before she died and I sang it to her in the chapel of rest. She continues to dance with me whenever I sing it now!
The Beat of the Road of Life  was taught for SONGLINE from Singing Mamas Choir in November, 2020.

Fly Free - A choir song in 4-6 parts!

Picture
This song emerged on a solo retreat in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Northern Spain. I watched the eagles soaring around the mountain tops and felt an incredible sense of having been called to this particular landscape. The mountains call still!

Willows weep

I wrote this in answer to a call for a secular winter carol. The melodies draw us into the cold beauty of the season but the imagery connects us to the messages of hope and renewal.

To Do List - A fun, simple warm-up song in 5 parts

Picture
We all know the feeling, that damned 'to do' list just keeps getting longer and longer! This was written on 'one of those days' and always gains knowing smiles as a simple, fun and funky song!

Bayoushka Bayou - Trad.  A lullaby in 3 parts

I am a big fan of the creepy lullaby and my arrangement of this traditional Cossack lullaby definitely has the 'beware the judder man my dear when the moon is fat!' vibe!
Lyrics:
​Go to sleep my darling baby
Bayoushka Bayou
See the moon is shining on you
Bayoushka Bayou...
I will tell you many stories if you close your eyes
Go to sleep my darling baby
Bayoushka Bayou...

Ocean Mind

This song was written as a mantra to help to acknowledge the storms of the mind and allow them to come to stillness through song. I recorded the video whilst performing a residency in The Maldives and whilst the ocean there is calm and clear, this song is for use in ocean minds in all weathers!!
