This work for SATB, Marimba, French Horn and drums can be performed substituting a piano for the Marimba, or using an electronic keyboard, if the instrumentation is hard to come by. In the attached .mp3 it is sung by Matthew Curtis to an electronic recording of the instruments. Contact connie@deephum.com to obtain an electronic recording of the instrumentals.
The song is one of many found in the novel, The Earth Woman Tree Woman Quartet, also written by Connie Pwll Walck Tyler. It is a call for people to see themselves as part of the whole earth, to join the Dance of Life, the central metaphor of the novel. It opens with a haunting call by the French Horn, and then the tenors, before the drums, marimba, and the other voices join. There is a soprano descant at measure 71 that can be sung as a solo. Peace, peace, laughter and dance, joy and life for us all. Sing your tears, sing your fears.... The piece is about four minutes long.
The words are:
Arise! Arise!
Open up your heart.
Open up your heart to the Dance of Life!
Arise! Arise!
Open up your eyes.
Open up your eyes,
Arise! Arise!
See the world in the Dance of Life.
Beat your feet to the beat of your heart.
Dance the Dance of Life.
Peace, peace, laughter and dance,
Joy and life for us all.
Sing your fears, sing your tears,
Sing oppression through the years,
Peace and justice for us all.
Peace, peace, laughter and dance,
Joy and life for us all.
Joy and life for us all.
Wake up and open up your heart to life.
Wake up and see the world with compassionate eyes.
Sing out and open up your heart.
Sing out and open up your lives!
Join the Dance of Life!
Dance the Dance of Life!
Arise! Arise!
Open up your heart to the Dance of Life!
Dance the Dance of Life!
