global water dance festival
The Global Water Dance Festival involved diverse groups around the world raising awareness of the vital need to care for out water.
Stefan was invited to compose & orchestrate 2 original songs for Sophia Kelly's Norwich-based dance group, and the dance performance, including my band, can be seen here.
With lockdown restrictions, we had scant opportunity to rehearse. The recording of 12 musicians and singers was all via a single mic. Hence, it's an 'organic free-range' production - but hopefully the magical atmosphere will transmit.

Lyrics - Ultramarine
- Ultramarine, rippling, bubbling, foaming stream. Indigo sky reflected below, in a cerulean dream.
- Dragonflies dart, dive-bombing lily leaf frogs who leap. Green as the waves, splish-splashing with glee. Clean water will set you free.
- Water’s a jewel, sparkling bright, faithful, pure and true. Promise to care, play fair, she’ll be there for all who come after you.
Additional Lyrics for ‘haunting’ vocals
Carry our children over the water
To emerald islands far from the torture
To rise like fresh spray on a wild wing
Soar high on the billowing waves
