VOCES8 International Summer School Young Musicians' Course perform their new song 'The Rhythm of Seasons'.

Each year at the VOCES8 International Festival and Summer School our children’s course work together to write a new song. In 2023, they were inspired by the theme of nature and our place in the world. This song, the lyrics, melodies and chord sequences, are all drawn from the ideas of our fabulous team of young musicians.

The piece is now available on VOCES8 Publishing - www.voces8.com/sheet-music/the-rhythm-of-seasons-by-neil-valentine-and-voces8-young-musicians

TEXT

VERSE I

Our earth is full of mysteries,

Secrets from before,

Curiously full of mysteries,

From the forest to the shore.

Beautifully wild,

Swaying trees and birds.

It's green and wonderful, It's burning!

Yes, its green and it's wonderful,

Let's stop it burning!

CHORUS

We live below the clouds,

Surrounded by oceans (x 2)

The rhythm of seasons!

VERSE 2

Our lives are full of wonder,

Loads of feelings.

Full of fun surprises,

Different meanings

Adventurous and fun,

Amazing and beautiful.

We need to help the earth

For our future,

We need to help the earth

For our future!
