The 50s Song Mister Sandman by Pat Ballard, which I arranged, on request, for our local choir. After a few concerts, I thought it would also be fun to Sing it all myself (multitracking), so here it is. I have now published the score; see below

Our repertoire is all original, written by choir members and has emerged as a new tribal choral tradition that honors death as a natural, expected, sometimes very inspiring event in a life. While we don't require auditions, our welcome process is rigorous. This kind Of Singing is spiritual work and is deeply rewarding for those who are called to it.

The score blossomed during a fellowship at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, a pastoral setting that nurtured embracing the poem’s vivid landscape. The piano provides a repeating foundation over which the choir playfully evokes the spare text, uSing variations Of the initial theme throughout. There is a contemplative moment midway, then the pulse resumes, concluding with a gleeful repetition Of the last line. "The Red Wheelbarrow is a wonderfully approachable and fun piece Of music. The Singers Of Inversion had a blast working through the rhythmic lilt and subtly beautiful harmonies, so Often found in Rich Campbell's music. The clever musical interpretation brought out the wry humor Of the text." Trevor Shaw, Inversion Ensemble AD  less

The Song is written for a SATB choir and is sung a cappella. It is a contemplative piece which explores themes Of togetherness in adversity and the call for peace. Its opening phrase mimics that Of the Last Post and it is intended to be sung as part Of an act Of remembrance. Lyrics: As one they stood alone As one they gazed into the unknown Laid bare in rains Of steel Deep veins Of mire to call their home Bade forth with flags Of praise Thenceforth as one to end their days From distant shores Their souls cry out for us to remember As blood bore fertile earth One soaring call was brought to birth A seed awakening A proclamation now to serve As one their voices come As one they call the Earth to arms Their anthem strong A Song imploring us to remember Remember, we shall remember As darkness plundered then So darkness wounds the Earth again An...    less
