Lyrics to Fukudome, Bring it Home by Racine singer/songwriter Mark Harrod:
While rehearsing “Ode to Joy,” the climactic final movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, soprano Pat Rowser discovered it had plenty of high notes. And another challenge presented itself: “Ode to Joy” lyrics are in German.
Want to put your own spin on Barry McGuire’s song, “Eve Of Destruction?” Fill out the form completely, and submit your lyrics (the actual lyrics appear below). We’ll judge the best submission, the winner will receive a copy of McGuire’s latest CD, “Trippin The 60s.”
Portentous and banal, “Memory Takes My Hand” is the least interesting of the three works here. Not even Lucy Crowe can make Peter Arnott’s lyrics intelligible at the tessitura chosen by Craig Armstrong, and the BBC SO treads water in a score that sounds as though Carl Orff had been reincarnated as an ambient composer.
