This week we have another sing along from Clare Watson called We Are Together, and two breathing exercises and a self-written song from Caro Overy to keep The Cheyne Gang singing at home.
Clare is Voice Coach for the East Borders Coldstream Group. Caro is the Voice Coach for the Leith Group.
First of all, here are Caro's breathing exercises to warm up.

Dandelion Clock - Extended
We Are Together
This song comes from a life affirming documentary of the same name. It can be very uplifting.
It is a bit like a call and response.
I have recorded the three response parts as learning tracks and then put the parts together with the call to sing along to.
We Are Together - Part 1
We Are Together - Part 2
We Are Together - Part 3
We Are Together - Sing-Along
Words (the response part sings the words of the caller)
Thina, thina sumunye (thina is pronounced tseena)
Singa bom deni
We are, we are together
We are family
And here is the trailer to the film
Little Star/Old Lady Moon
This is a song Caro wrote, and it’s two songs in one! It has a relaxed lullaby feel to it with nice easy phrasing. The lyrics are:
Little star, silver bright
Bringing hope in the night
When I’m out on the sea
You shine just for me
Little star, silver bright
Old Lady Moon, glimmering
Light up the gloom, shimmering
Wise and calm
Keep us from harm
Old Lady Moon
And finally for this week, Anne has chosen a song that she thinks you will all enjoy.
Doris Day- Que Sera Sera
