Can the Worldwide Song Project turn your poem into a song?
Can the Worldwide Song Project turn your poem into a song?
Here's an opportunity for anyone in Mundesley, adult or child:
Let the Worldwide Song Project turn your poem into a song!
As Project director I've a team of musicians who are ready and waiting to be inspired! Throughout its 10 year history the Project has set nearly all the poems people like - and unlike - you have sent it from around the world.
The first to contribute were the children on Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic - and then their parents.
The Queen approved an island issue of Song Project stamps in 2012.
While living up to its worldwide billing, the Project welcomes local contributions, too - on any topic under the sun.
I live in Trunch, so north-east Norfolk gets special attention!
Let's make your poem sing!
If we succeed you'll receive your song arranged for voice and piano.
(It will reach you as a pdf plus synthesised sound. Frame it or sing it - it's up to you!)
Keen contributors like those on Tristan also have the thrill of seeing their songs in print.
Send us your poems and let's give Mundesley a songbook, too!
A page from 'Songs for Sark'
(the songbook produced for
the Channel Island).
A budding composer from
North Walsham giving an
open air performance of
one of the more amusing
'Songs for Sark.'
Remember - Taking part in the Project doesn't cost you a penny.
Use the form below to ask any questions, or email me at [email protected], which is where to send poems.
Poems by under 16s should reach me via parents, carers or teachers, stating the author's age.
I do my best to keep in touch with everyone who supports the Project, even if their poems aren't set.
Tony D Triggs
Director, the Worldwide Song Project
