Peel Regional Choirs:
We cordially invite choral singers of participating Peel Region choirs, to join ELM in the lead-up to the 3rd May 2104 Mandurah Proms to sing the beautiful Eric Bogle song 'Shelter' and to participate in a spontaneous 'flashmob' rendition of 'Each Moment' during the screening of the movie.
We understand, of course, that singers must discharge their responsibilities to their home choir's Proms commitments before considering extra-curricular singing with the ELM community. We have made life as easy as possible by preparing a great set of paper and web based practice music for you. These resources will enable you to learn the music quickly and efficiently where ever you may be:
Date Time Activity
Friday 2nd May 2014 3:45 pm to 5:00 pm ELM Workshop
Saturday 3rd May 2014 Noon to 1:00 pm ‘Each Moment’ Flashmob rehearsal
Please help us spread this invitation to others, particularly those who don't have Internet access.

Lyrics
I’m drowning in the sunshine as it pours down from the skies There’s something stirring in my heart, bright colours fill my eyes As from here to the far horizon, your beauty does unfold And oh you look so lovely, dressed in green and gold. And I can almost touch the ocean shimmering in the distant haze As I stand here on this mountain on this loveliest day of days Round half the world I’ve drifted, left no wild oats unsown But now my view has shifted and I think I’ve just come home. To the homeless and the hungry may you always open doors May the restless and the weary find safe harbour on your shores May you always be our Dreamtime place, our spirit’s glad release May you always be our shelter, may we always live in peace. And now I’m drowning in the sunshine as it pours down from the skies There’s something stirring in my heart, bright colours fill my eyes As from here to the far horizon, your beauty does unfold And oh you look so lovely, dressed in green and gold May you always be our shelter, may we always live in peace... in peace... in peace. |
