Songs for Faslane 365 Rise up Singing Blockade
Here are the mass songs for the blockade. For each song there is the score to print out, and also mp3 files with each of the parts. We don't plan to produce CDs, so please download the files and burn your own if you want one.
The main songs we are proposing are:
- Watch Out (Words & music: Holly Near; arr. Bronwyn Westacott of Nottingham Clarion Choir)
score page 1, score page 2, tune, bass, words (sorry, alto & tenor parts went missing!) - Peace, Salaam, Shalom (Pat Humphries & Sandy Opatow)
score, round, obligato I, obligato II, Pat Humphries singing complete version (note that in verse 5 we have changed the words slightly from Pat Humphries' version) - The War Machine Rolls Round (Sue Gilmurray)
score, tune/soprano, alto, tenor, bass - Freedom Come-All-Ye (Hamish Henderson)
score, tune, soprano
If you manage to learn all the above, you might also like to take a look at the following (all of which are quite straightforward):
- Deep Blue Sea (American traditional, source Pete Seeger/Odetta)
score, top, tenor, bass - Gentle Angry People (Holly Near, arr Jane Schonveld)
score, top, alto, tenor, bass - Never Turning Back (Pat Humphries, arrangement after Judy Small)
score, lead, top, alto, tenor, bass - Vine and Fig Tree (traditional Hebrew words; english words Leah M Jaffa & Frank Minkoff, arrangement by Morag Carmichael)
score, tune, soprano, tenor/bass
You can also download all the above files in one gigantic (30Mb) zip file, if that is more convenient.
There is also a songsheet with words only.
If you have any other songs that you'd like to sing en masse, do please bring them along and teach them to us!
