164. Fly Away

Song: Fly Away Music by: Becky Graber   Notes: Becky Graber really captured that feeling I get sometimes when I'm so uncomfortable, I want to simply fly away... when you are seeking something that feels trustworthy, and it feels elusive. I taught this in an unusual way for A Breath of Song, using solfege to identify the very different ranges of each of the four parts... you may find that useful, or not -- let go of anything doesn't serve you! Next week, Becky and I get to dig into a conversation with both of us here in my basement workspace... newsletter subscribers will see the pairsie (what do you really call a selfie with two?) As a songleader who started a chorus that has felt like mutual nourishment for almost 30 years, Becky has a perspective on group singing that is unique, and I really enjoyed exploring this experience with her.   Songwriter Info: Becky Graber has lived her life professionally centered around music and storytelling, teaching and performing, and a heart-drive towards healing and coming to centered generosity. She is the founder and director of the Brattleboro (VT) Women's Chorus.   Sharing Info: The song is free to share in oral tradition groups, but please contact Becky for recording and/or performing permission.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:03:00 Start time of reprise: 00:16:44   Links: Becky's website: www.beckygraber.com Brattleboro Women's Chorus website: www.brattleborowomenschorus.org    Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, Major (Ionian), 4 part layer   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
