 Mini Session May / June 2020
  • Dona Nobis Pacem (Give Us Peace) by Mozart: can be sung as a round once they learn the whole song, so please feel free to learn it too!  Here is a video that teaches it, and that you can sing along with (You Tube is amazing!). Here is another recording, with Choir and Orchestra.
  • Ain't No Friend by Coco Love Alcorn. We would have sung this song with Chris MacLean's choir in our workshop. Here is Coco's version. Here is a choir version that has a nice explanation of the lyrics in the chorus. Here are the lyrics. I like the messages in it a lot.
  • One singer mentioned that she had enjoyed the film The Biggest Little Farm  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA463a7r83k This was in relation to the book we read: Lighthouse Seeds

 APRIL 19 EMAIL - POLLINATORS, MUSIC MONDAY, NOBODY NOSE, SIT SPOTS
Some quick notes about music, lyrics, videos and singing at home! 

  • There is absolutely no expectation or requirement that CYC members practice our songs at home in between rehearsals. 
  • However, if you and your child would like to sing our songs at home (which is awesome!), our goal is to make that easy for you to do. 
    • Senior Choir members also receive sheet music for many of their songs. Singers have the option to take this music home in between rehearsals, or to leave it with me. All music must be returned at the end of a session.
