Happy Voices Together

"HAPPY VOICES TOGETHER"
.
Sing Out 2011
now presents the first recording of "Happy Voices Together" for group singing by family-based and friendship-based groups in their homes, neighborhoods, parks, schools, offices, etc. in as many localities as possible in countries across the globe especially during the Sing Out 2011-proper months of May through December 2011.

.
It was composed (words & music) by Ms. Karen Virata of Sanib-Sining (movement for "synaesthetics" in the Philippines) about ten years ago, and sung
recently by members of a parish church choir in Makati City.
.
The singers are, alphabetically,
JM Arcaya, Cecille Carreon, Herminia Cantapay, Evangeline Marquez, Salvador Noveda, Grace Pedenzuela, Nestor Santos, Rosita Tesorero, Jimmy Tomico, Ramon Caralla.
.
Happy Voices Together sings the very spirit of Sing Out 2011, to be focused on in May-June and maintained through to the yearend, encouraging the happy singing together "not to showcase anyone's talents but to celebrate our happy togetherness upon the themes of Love, Peace, Joy." We encourage the composition, recording and upload of many equivalent songs carrying the same themes and the recording of various-language and -style versions / renditions of this song, to further the popularization of this song and of its basic spirit-- Universal Love among all humans; real, lasting Peace, and profound Joy.
.
We suggest that viewers of this blog sing along at least five times with this song as uploaded in Youtube
(click here to play or replay) and get themselves familiar with its basic tune.
.
The first equivalent version of the song was composed in Filipino but is closer to the project's full title, "Sing Out our Love, Peace, Joy in 2011!" Those who have become familiar with the original song's melody may start trying to apply it to this Filipino equivalent version
(lyrics by Ding Reyes, Sanib-Sining co-founder).

(as sung by Ding Reyes and Melba Santos at Marikit Park, Olongapo City):

Tayo nang magsanib-tinig,
Diwa'y sasayaw sa himig.
Damhin nati'y tunay na galak,
Na pagsasaluhan ng lahat!
.
Awitin ang Pagmamahalan,
Awitin ang Kapayapaan,
Awitin ang Kaligayahan,
Kaisaha'y gawing ganap!
.
La-la-la-la-la...
