Three more days



We're all getting very excited down here at SFAS HQ - just three more days until the Beta choir application window opens!

I have my list of choirs all ready to email out invitations to. I just hope it's worded well enough that they don't just think it's spam and junk it, because that would be very sad.

If you're reading this and you don't get contacted by me on Sunday, you can still apply! I compiled the list from a website called British Choirs on the Net. A lot of the choirs on there no longer exist as the links were dead. But there may be MANY more choirs who are suitable who are not on there.

So if you are reading this and you run an SATB choir anywhere in the world who can sing at a reasonable standard, you are very welcome to submit your application on Sunday! The more the merrier!

Just bookmark this page and check back on Sunday for all the details!

Today's Song of the Day is a tribute to Martinmas, a beautiful celebration known as the Festival of Compassion. St. Martin of Tours (died 397) was a Roman soldier who was baptized as an adult and became a bishop in Gaul. He is best known for the tale whereby he cut his cloak in half with his sword, to give half to a beggar who was dressed in only rags in the depth of winter. That night Martin had a vision of Jesus Christ wearing the half-cloak. For this special festival, I have chosen a moving poem titled “Compassion” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It beautifully captures the limitless compassion of Christ, reflecting the very essence of Martin's noble actions. Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 – 1919) was an inspiring American author and poet. Her works include the collection Poems of Passion and the evocative poem "Solitude," which reminds us, “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.” Her autobiograph...

Adele stole my song title!

I don't have a Song of the Day for you today but I thought I would share a story from back in 2009. I was engaged and thought it would be a sweet idea to write a song for my husband-to-be and have it professionally recorded. So I wrote this song which I called "Someone Like You." I practised it and perfected it, and organised musicians to play the guitar and drum parts, got it all recorded, even taught it to my youth choir so they could sing it at my wedding, and then found out some young upstart named Adele had also written and released a song called "Someone Like You"! Ah well, it's not like you can copyright a song title—which is a good thing because if she sued ME for breach of copyright I am not sure how to prove I thought of it first. I don't even know if I DID think of it first!! It's a bit different from the Songs for all Seasons, but I hope you like it. Who knows, if my music gets published, this song might get picked up by some famous balla...
