About this event
A Cambridge Folk Festival event in partnership with Folk by the Oak Festival.Lend your voice to the brand-new Spell Songs Scratch Choir!Inspired by the music of Spell Songs and in anticipation of their performance at Cambridge Corn Exchange, we invite you to raise your voices to celebrate nature. We will be learning a beautiful new acappella arrangement of ‘The Lost Words Blessing’ - a deeply moving song now in glorious four-part harmony. We will also be weaving our voices around a new ‘murmuration’ - bringing to life a meaningful mantra from Jackie Morris and Rober Macfarlane’s latest release ‘The Book of Birds’ which inspired Spell Songs’ new album. The Spell Songs Scratch Choir is also invited to sing in a ‘pop-up’ performance at Cambridge Corn Exchange at 7.10pm, just before the Spell Songs concert on Friday 4th September.The workshop and performance will be led by singer and choir leader Ben See. This project is open to all singers. You don’t need to be able to read music or sing a solo, but a little bit of experience singing in a choir or holding harmony parts is recommended. Scores and teaching tracks will be sent round in advance.
