#choirsforecocidelaw — Public Fediverse posts

Ideally it should be performed as part of an entire programme for Choirs for Ecocide Law, which is available here: https://www.stopecocide.earth/choirs All the songs there are available for unison voices (or solo singer), flexible 2-part choir, or SATB, and accompaniment can be piano alone or an entire band (chord symbols included). It's licensed under #CreativeCommons, contributions to climate causes appreciated. #ChoirsForEcocideLaw #ChoirsForClimate #Ecocide

Today's bit of self-promotion: "The Rules" for flexible 2-part choir and piano! This is part of #ChoirsForEcocideLaw (the concert I'm going to see in a few weeks in Finland with 1000 people singing it, yikes) and was premiered at our Creative Scotland funded #ChoirsForClimate concert in March 2023. Just found a performance of the Choirs For Ecocide Law full programme on YouTube which I didn't know about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrkvTwu0Ps&t=605s - a big thank you to the Koblenz University Choir in Germany!

Next on the list is "The Rules" https://choirsforclimate.com/2022/04/15/the-rules/ - an angry rant against existing laws which not only protect companies that harm the environment, but sometimes even penalise them if they try to reduce damage. We need to change these rules and introduce #EcocideLaw. That's why I wrote this piece for #ChoirsForEcocideLaw http://stopecocide.earth/choirs . It's a whole concert's worth of music that you can download and perform to campaign for an ecocide law. If you direct a choir, check it out!

Here's "The Rules", which will be in both of the above, in concert from our Edinburgh performance last month (this was the world premiere): https://youtu.be/bhuk9j8pvrs Full lyrics are in the video description.

"Hope", with music by Merzi Rajala, is a soulful, catchy setting of Emily Dickinson's famous poem, which will leave you humming it every time you read it from now on! Written as part of the #ChoirsForEcocideLaw project, this piece shows the value and indestructibility of hope in the time of climate crisis. https://youtu.be/gaB9ny4dP10
