Janice,

 

Sounds great.  Please add us to the list.  Are you interested in recording
the Kwang Yung IL song?

 

Peace,

Harry

Subject: [Oe List ...] A few songs for a singalong

 

About a month ago, there was a discussion about ICA songs.  Dressler
long-playing records were put on the internet, as were titles and words of
songs - so many of these that perhaps it may be a complete list - at least
so far.  And there were exciting suggestions for colleagues to gather and
sing, on front porches, for example.

 

Saturday Sept. 20 colleagues will be gathering in Troy, NY for a
pre-international-conference afternoon workshop.  That morning a few of us
will spend a couple of hours singing (with piano), and recording some of the
songs, as another contribution to sharing our song heritage.  The recording
equipment is in a church, and the voices are not professional.  We will have
valiant forces on hand, but will not spend the whole two hours polishing 2
songs.  Instead, we will have fun.  CD's will be available at cost; perhaps
their most appropriate use would be for those who really love the songs, to
sing along with.  This way people can sing louder to cover any possible
shortcomings in the recordings.

 

So far we have suggestions for the following list of songs. I don't honestly
know how many songs we will have time for.  We'll set up a priority list,
and then add others as we can.

 

SUGGESTIONS SO FAR

The Vision

New Community Bound (tune, Won't You Play a Simple Melody)

Delta Pace

Sudtonggan

Gibson Town

Cabaret Song "Shocking! My life's anew, vict'ry! Shocking!  It's certitude,
trembling!"

Rainbow Trail

Once to Every One and Nation

Those Who Wait on the Lord

Lift Every Voice and Sing

For All the Saints

Journey On

 

 

Not really suggestions yet, but other possibilities:

 

Harambee (Harambee, harambee, tuimbe pamoja)

At the Center Tranquil  (tune, Shenandoah)

The Rose

All Life Is Open (tune, Guantanamerra)

Fifth City Love Song (tune, And I Love You So)

Come and Go With Me to that Land

 

If you think you might be interested in such a CD, two questions:

1)  Are there another few songs that you would yearn to sing along with?

2)  Are there 2 or 3 on the list of suggestions (or possibilities) that
you'd just as soon cut to make room for others?

 

Please let me know by Tuesday Sept. 16.  You can reply to me individually -
or if you think your ideas need wider feedback, the listserv.  Thanks, and
good singing - whatever songs sustain you these days.

 

Janice
