21 Jan 00 - 06:17 PM (#166365) Subject: Songs of hope and healing From: Pinetop Slim Suppose you were interested in putting together a CD of Songs of Hope and Healing, both as a fund-raiser for your local Hope Center or hospice and a spirit-booster/music therapy for their patients and others. Rounding up musicians is no problem (you might even want to record live at a local church with wonderful acoustics and use the audience as a chorus). But what songs would you want to record? Cris Williamson's "Song of the Soul" would be a ready choice, but the material needs a gentler start (that line "come to your life like a warrior" would be a slap in the face to somebody really hurting). Your community represents wide religious and non-religious diversity; hymns must be handled with care. So what would be on your list? |

Let's see... specific healing songs would be Courage my soul Ionn Da (Seal-woman's sea joy) Sing 'til the power of the Lord come down (somehow folks who object to being preached at don't usually mind African-American spirituals from the slave tradition since they represent so much hope out of struggle and oppression) Then for consolation, let's sing I bid you goodnight Hallowell from the latest Sacred Harp - refrain repeats the lines The dead lift me up...

22 Jan 00 - 08:46 AM (#166620) Subject: RE: BS: Songs of hope and healing From: Pinetop Slim MaryG: When I wrote '"come to your life like a warrior" would be a slap in the face to somebody really hurting,' I was thinking of somebody whose pain couldn't be dulled even by a handful of percocet with a morphine-drip chaser. Not fair to ask someone in that state to be warrior -- at least not without trying to ease pain and build up spirit beforehand. To all: Just reading the titles you've posted is inspiring. Alas, there are several I'm not familiar with and some -- e.g. "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," the first one I checked -- are absent from the DT. Can/should that be changed? There's abundance of hospice-appropriate material here, less for Hope Center. Is it fair to ask for more on the theme of "songs to play when you're on the way to a CAT scan" (insert your frightening medical procedure of choice)? More songs of courage, maybe some to remind patients they can count on a friend? |

22 Jan 00 - 07:04 PM (#166920) Subject: RE: BS: Songs of hope and healing From: Joe Offer Gee, all of my favorites have been listed - Bob Franke's "THANKSGIVING EVE" and "THE GREAT STORM IS OVER," Sydney Carter's "Julian of Norwich," "THE MARY ELLEN CARTER" (Stan Rogers), and "HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING." One I'd like to add is IT'S A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU," because friendship may well be the most powerful source of hope and healing. I've been having trouble learning the melody of SONG OF THE SOUL," but it's wonderful to hear Cris Williamson or Holly Near sing it. The "warrior" image doesn't bother me - sometimes, we have to be tough to overcome adversity. But yeah, maybe it's not the best as an opener. Set the mood first, and then put in that powerful song. -Joe Offer- ("Julian of Norwich" was removed from the database at the request of the copyright holder, but it's available in the Rise Up Singing songbook.) |

23 Jan 00 - 02:15 AM (#167051) Subject: RE: BS: Songs of hope and healing From: GUEST,Judy Predmore "Seeds of Hope" was co-written by Garnet Rogers & his agent, for an AIDS CD that I don't think ever happened, but it's on one of Garnet's CD's from a few years ago. Garnet was extremely touched when I told him that it meant alot to me. I could tell he really wanted his music to make a difference to people, so he'd probably be fairly cooperative about permission & rights, etc. The chorus: "Take my hand & we will walk together, Take my hand, you will not walk alone, Take my hand, this night won't last forever, We'll harvest seeds of hope we've sown." "I See My Journey" by Eileen McGann. "...Walk along with me & I will walk with you, On paths of joy & paths of sorrow too... I close my eyes to look for guidance on the road, For peace & joy & strength to bear up any load.." Eileen's quite a social activist, so she'd probably be fairly cooperative also. "Never Turning Back" by Pat Humphries is in Rise Up Singing, & you can easily change the lyrics to suit your purpose. "Gonna keep on walking forward... Gonna light this night together..." She's another social activist who'd probably be cooperative. Now onto the more likely to be difficult to get permission from: "The Dance" by Tony Arata, a huge hit for Garth Brooks. It's a love song but it's been used for everything from weddings to funerals to graduations. "...Our lives are better left to chance, I could've missed the pain, But I'd have had to miss the dance.." "The River" was written by Garth Brooks. "... I'll never reach my destination if I never try, So I will sail my vessel til the river runs dry... I know there'll be rough waters, I'm bound to take some falls, But with the good lord as my shepard, I'll make it through them all..." |

23 Jan 00 - 10:09 AM (#167105) Subject: RE: BS: Songs of hope and healing From: Pinetop Slim As of Mouldy's post, 74 songs recommended and seem to represent at least seven stages of a healing cycle: Awakening (songs that remind life worth living). Assurance (you've got a friend, friends, family). Acceptance (it sucks to be sick, but..). Encouragement (you can take another step, steps). Prayer/supplication (heal me, send some of that balm of gilead, give me peace, oh river). Laughter, the Best Medicine (please, can somebody rephrase that without the cliche?). Resignation/surrender (I'm headed back to the old brown earth and maybe I'll pass this way again). Would it be wrong to set up threads under those headings and try to organize and, with feedback, eliminate my guesswork (I'm unfamiliar with about half the songs suggested)?

12 Feb 00 - 09:09 PM (#177387) Subject: RE: BS: Songs of hope and healing From: Crowhugger Markf, just came across a lovely one, "Sidereal Song" by William Westcott of Toronto. The arrangement I know was for kids in unison; our women's choir did it last year. It would be exquisite with banjo (instead of broken chords on piano) accompanying 2 voices (instead of our 45-50). The breathing is deadly, the phrases are so darn long and connected one to the next. So 2 voices, maybe an octave apart or maybe not, overlapping enough and separating enough to allow a mere mortal to breathe. W. Westcott Pub. Co. 184 Gough Ave. Toronto, ON M4K 3P1 (416) 463-6353 FAX (416) 463-5241 This info from the music we used. If it's out of date, I can see if the conductor knows where to find him. For a recording, the only one I know is Echo choir's self-published CD of last December's concert. There could be many others. It does not demand sweet kids voices, and has plenty of room for percussion. A gem. |
