Blackberries

A short Wassail written for voices for a new orchard planted by Sustainable Woodstock in Oxfordshire. 
A wassail in an incantation to the trees to promote a good harvest in the year ahed. With ancient origins it is sung on Twelth Night.
The tune starts off in unison then breaks in to three parts.
May this tree grow in beauty,
May this tree flourish and thrive, 
May htis tree give fruit a-plenty.
 Fill my basket, 
Fill my basket , 
Fill my basket high.

Four part acapella chant. Solvitur Ambulando means -It is solved by walking.

Solvitur ambulando

A plea for safety in a year where singing became dangerous and a wish for when we sing the air in and out of our lives again. October 2020

Clear Breath

This song started with Northumbrian pebbles, echoes with Cornish granite and flowed from the coast inland to Oxford, where it was sung with local mums organising a Feed-for-the-Future event cancelled in March 2020.
 I hope it will find a new life....
