A Traveler’s Heart, the ninth in a series of solo song volumes by BriLee Music, has been specifically written and compiled for the developing treble voice in middle school, junior high and high schools. These delightful songs on the theme of travel are age and range appropriate, from titles with narrow ranges of six and seven notes, to titles that expand the range as the voice develops and matures. Students at many different levels will find rewarding and gratifying repertoire that challenges their voices and develops their expressive capabilities. The five composers represented in this volume include Lynn Shaw Bailey (2 songs), Vicki Tucker Courtney (3 songs), Glenda Franklin (2 songs), Christi Jones (2 songs) and Meredith Tompkins (2 songs).
The Chinese poet Chan Fang-Sheng wrote this inspiring text during the fourth century in his poem Sailing Homeward. The majesty and grandeur of nature has not only the ability to heal, but also the create a black canvas for artistic expression and heartfelt emotion. Those moments of encounter with creation can take your break away and simultaneously propel you forward into song.Suggestions: Be intentional with syllabic and word stress Throughout the song, be lean into the dissonances. Use the full dynamic vocabulary - explore full, vibrant fortes and contrast them with shimmery softs.
