Deborah Johnson #987387. Published by Deborah Johnson (A0.1404284). Deborah Johnson's Superwoman is a vibrant tribute to the incredible strength of women worldwide. This upbeat and energetic song celebrates the everyday feats of ordinary yet extraordinary women. Drawing from her own experiences, Deborah navigates the complexities of managing a household, navigating career changes, raising three children, maintaining a marriage, and all the challenges life throws her way. Through Superwoman, Deborah captures the resilience and determination required to juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, resonating with listeners who understand the struggle of holding everything together. Purchase the single MP3 here: https://amzn.to/3PvNCHK The accompaniment MP3 track is also available for download Note from Deborah: Are you embracing your inner superheroine? I get it—navigating life's hurdles while donning our invisible capes can feel like a whirlwind circus act. To claim the title of Superwoman, you've got to juggle the whole shebang: home life, career acrobatics, kid wrangling, spouse wrangling (or partner wrangling, let's keep it inclusive), and just the general chaos of existence. It's the kind of balancing act that'd make a Cirque du Soleil performer jealous! Speaking from the trenches myself, I've done my fair share of plate-spinning: managing a household, enduring the rollercoaster ride of a career (complete with loop-de-loops), wrangling three sons who seem to have synchronized their mischief, keeping a marriage afloat through the stormy seas and dealing with the curveballs life tosses our way. And let's not forget society's laundry list of expectations: staying fit, maintaining a Pinterest-worthy home, being the rock for our loved ones... and that's not even touching on the culinary escapades! And let's raise a toast to the single moms out there, pulling off the ultimate juggling act—balancing multiple jobs, raising the next generation of superheroes, and keeping the household shipshape. They're the Superwomen on turbocharged overdrive! It's no wonder that the song Superwoman resonates with us—it's our anthem, our battle cry, and our reminder that we're all superheroes in our own right!

Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.942063 Composed by Apostolos Paraskevas. Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Silver Sickle Publications #4755049. Published by Silver Sickle Publications (A0.942063). Hope By Emily Dickinson Hope is the thing with feathers -That perches in the soul -And sings the tune without the words -And never stops - at all -And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard And sore must be the storm -That could abash the little Bird- That kept so many warm -I’ve heard it in the chillest land -And on the strangest Sea -Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.  Apostolos Paraskevas is a classical guitarist and composer as well as an award-winning film director and producer. He has received multiple international awards for his compositions and was nominated for a Grammy Award. He is the only guitarist ever to have a major orchestral piece performed at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Lukas Foss––and the only musician who has performed there in a Grim Reaper outfit. He was the founder and served for 16 years as the artistic director of the International Guitar Congress-Festival of Corfu, Greece.  He is a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammys). After his undergraduate music studies in Volos he pursued advanced studies in classical guitar with Costas Cotsiolis (diploma, 1990) and Leo Brouwer (Havana 1984, 1988), as well as postgraduate studies in composition with Lukas Foss and Theodore Antoniou (DMA in composition, Boston University, 1998). Paraskevas embarked on a successful career as a guitar soloist and contemporary composer, achieving distinctions in both disciplines: Grammy nomination for Chase Dance (Bridge Records, 1999); first prize for Night Wanderings (Lukas Foss Composition Competition, 2000); first prize for Phygein Adynaton (National Composers Conference, 1997); and numerous prestigious commissions, performances, and publications. Following teaching posts at Northeastern and Boston Universities, Paraskevas has taught since 2001 at the Berklee College of Music in Boston (professor of composition and classical guitar).  His eclectic compositional style arises as an idiosyncratic integration of seemingly conflicting influences – from avant-garde approaches to harmonic structure, form, and timbre, to pop-folk modal and rhythmical concepts – amalgamated into a personal evocative musical language, characterized by rhythmic verve, melodic grace, dramatic (and sometimes unexpectedly humorous) gestures, and ritualistic or theatrical elements. The latter feature has also led Paraskevas to the creation of films, notably the acclaimed I Finally Did It (Gold award, California Film Awards 2010), dealing wittily with Death, a recurring extra-musical theme in his music.The Groves Dictionary of Music Costas Tsougras
