22 Apr 04 - 12:24 PM (#1168085) Subject: Tune Req: Every part of the earth be to my people From: GUEST,Nikki Strandskov info@graceattheu.org Here it is Earth Day and Sunday is Creation Sunday at the Lutheran church where I work. For the past several Creation Sundays they have been using a version of the words attributed to Chief Seattle set to music: "Every part of the earth be to my people holy." It's sung as a round. Those are the only words. It does not appear to be the same as the (translated from the Esperanto) version "Every part of the earth is to us holy" that I found by searching the Forum. It's only credited to Anonymous. Pastor has no idea where she got it. I don't have an original, so making copies of copies is getting dicey. I would also like to find the original sheet music or a book that includes it, so that we can properly compensate & credit anyone who has rights to the music. I've Googled it without any luck as far as finding sheet music/source. Can anyone help? I'd like to have this before NEXT Creation Sunday - about a year from now - if possible! Thanks for any help you can provide! |

My women's chorus sang this at our very first concert in April 1997. The handwritten copy of the music has this attribution: from: Peaceful Women, Star Route Box 97B Bayfield, WI 54814 715-779-3422 That address may be old, so I googled "Peaceful Women" + Bayfield, and had quite a few hits, including here. and here.
