This is an extended performance in 2023. This 8 minute version has a lot of harmonies and vocal variations, i found counterpoint melodies and simplifications and added many nonverbal motifs.
When I was studying music at Edinburgh University, I sang a collection of Pagan songs with some friends on a Sunday night for a while, it was in a cosy little cottage in Roslin, with a fire burning and we all brought a dish to eat, we created some amazing vibes. Moving from singing to percussion and drumming and back again, seamlessly. It was an education in a type of music making that didn’t feature in the academic course.. I was so grateful for these experiences as they widened my knowledge and scope of singing style and improvisation.
The songs we sang were from “Prana Chants” a songbook compiled by Tony Wrench.
