205. Set It Right Again with guest Ana Hernández

Song: Set It Right Again Music by: Ana Hernández   Notes: Ana Hernández has been in the music business for quite a while, finding ways to follow the sounds she loves, to express her activist wishes, to ease her anxiety, to remember wise words... and she writes powerful, moving community songs to do all these things! Her book, the Sacred Art of Chant, was a game changer for me when I discovered it in 2019 for the way it named how singing with repetition changed my body. It was a huge honor to be in conversation with her, and then play with harmonies as we sang together (no, I didn't get ALL of them "right"! 😊 But I was having a great time!!!) "Set It Right Again" is a song to take into protests, and Ana advises listening to the speeches to adjust the lyrics to fit... newsletter subscribers will see the flowers and the little black book that get described.   Songwriter Info: Ana Hernández is a composer, recording artist, retreat leader, and activist song leader creating and collecting tunes to build living and just communities through skillful action. A theomusicologist with NYS Poor People’s Campaign, Ana is also the author of The Sacred Art of Chant: Preparing to Practice (Skylight Paths/Turner Publishing).   Sharing Info: The song is free to share in public resistance actions and oral tradition groups. Please contact Ana for recording, streaming, or performing permission.    Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:03:34 and 00:06:39 Start time of reprise: 01:11:55   Links: Ana's website: https://anahernandez.org Ana's Patreon: www.patreon.com/anahernandez  Listen on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/in/artist/ana-hernandez/214582777  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0NGPpe3jeQqHFeFArIqYEH  SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/anahermusic  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-p9kisJu1ISLW7w6Wy2lVA  Poor People’s Campaign: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/committee/new-york/  Sojourner Truth: https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/sojourner-truth  Gandhi’s mantra Om Sri Rama: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanama  Aham Prema: you are divine love: https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/9462/aham-prema  Raimon Panikkar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raimon_Panikkar  Malka Heifitz Tussman:  https://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/quotes/quotations/view/33350/spiritual-quotation Marcia Falk The Book of Blessings: https://www.marciafalk.com/blessings.html  Hold My Hope: https://www.musicthatmakescommunity.org/teach_me_to_be_love Open My Heart:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vlnE5GMkSsA Louis Armstrong: https://www.louisarmstronghouse.org/biography/  Miles Davis: Sketches of Spain: https://www.milesdavis.com/albums/sketches-of-spain/  Cantus Firmus in Monteverdi Magnificat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RajAq0Yd-s4  St. Columba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columba  Ranunculus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranunculus  Alice Parker: “My belief is that a page of music conveys about five percent of the information needed to perform it.” https://giamusic.com/resource/the-anatomy-of-melody-book-g6765  Augsburg Fortress Publishers: https://www.augsburgfortresspublishers.org/  Banquet of Love album: https://anahernandez.org/album/banquet-of-love/  Mame: Ethel Merman play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mame_(musical)  Sending You Light album: https://anahernandez.org/album/sending-you-light/  Melanie DeMore: https://www.abreathofsong.com/apps/search?q=melanie+demore  Caravan of Empathy: https://ruralmigrantministry.org/save-new-yorks-rural-economy-a-journey-of-empathy-caravan/  Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Tenderland Suite: https://www.aaroncopland.com/works/appalachian-spring/ https://www.aaroncopland.com/works/the-tender-land/ Amina Alaoui from Morocco – Alcantara: https://open.spotify.com/album/1EDReLi3Q3luXIHcUgR0k7  Correction about the Kuan Yin Mantra: Namo Kuan Shi Yin Pusa - We said it was a Hindu mantra and it is actually a Chinese mantra.   Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, blues minor, call and response   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
