Rattray | The Joy of Singing & CDs

The Joy of Singing by Brenda Rattray is for children, young people and adults in primary schools, secondary schools, youth groups and churches who would like to build a singing community. Whether for musicians or non-specialists, the 20 songs in this collection will bring variety and confidence to any choir. There are unison songs through simple part-singing to songs with four or more parts; arrangements of well-known spirituals such as ‘Rocka My Soul’, ‘Wade in the Water’, ‘Kumbayah’ and ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’; and original songs in a range of styles, including African and gospel influences. Detailed teaching notes on each song, including discussion points and extension activities are also included. Audio backing and performance tracks are included on the 2 CDs, as well as a PDF of lyrics on the Enhanced CD for easy printing/projection.
