Subject: Lyr Req: America Alternative lyrics by Ruth Pelham From: open mike Date: 06 Mar 17 - 11:32 PM I am participating in a women's history month performance and the song America was suggested....I remember hearing some alternate lyrics sunc by Ruth Pelham would anyone have these lyrics or know of a source for them? Also does anyone have any suggestions for a song that might be good for a group such as a women's chorus to sing as an anthem for a women's concert/event? I am thinking of Singing for our Lives by Holly Near or Turning of the World by Ruth Pelham.....others/?? The song i heard a parody of was America the Beautiful the one that goes:
For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: AmericaAlternative lyrics by Ruth Pelham From: Joe Offer Date: 07 Mar 17 - 12:34 AM Hi, Laurel - The Rise Up Singing and Rise Again songbooks have used a number of Ruth Pelham songs, but I don't think we used that one. I think I've heard it once or twice, but of course now I can't find it. Her Website is http://www.musicmobile.org -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: AmericaAlternative lyrics by Ruth Pelham From: open mike Date: 07 Mar 17 - 01:55 AM yes i have looked at that site....she has a vehicle with music speakers that she drives where kids can hear it!! Great, enthusiastic musician, and charismatic like Faith Petric!! I have found several of her songs in Rise Up Singing, and particularly like Turning of the World which has been mentioned in another thread here. I see some of her songs are in the Unitarian song book. I heard the "new" lyrics to the America song on you tube, and now cannot re-find them! |
