Return Return – (Pagan chant, extended, extra melodies, beautiful)

Sung in 2023, this version is an extended version.

Not really adherring to these harmonies, i sang this song so many times, i made up my own interpretation and develop the song into more non-verbal lines and modifications as it goes along.

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.
