Vol 1-3 Lyrics 1-02 LITTLE TREES I see the great mountains That I'm far, far away Michael Mitchell Michael Mitchell Rise up from the coastline I had three brothers Canada Is For Kids The hills of Cape Breton And they are at rest Michael wrote this song for Sesame This new home of mine Their arms are folded on their chests Street. It tells about the important job Oh and we come from the countries But a poor, simple sailor just like me each of us has, to give young trees a All over the world Must be tossed and driven Vol 1, 2 & 3 Lyric Sheet chance to grow up to be big trees. To hack at the forests On the deep, blue sea To plow the land down I'd like to take a walk in the woods Fishermen, farmers VOLUME 1 Come with me, do you think you could And sailors all come 1-06 V'LA L'BON VENT We'll find a tree that we can climb To clear for the future Traditional We'll have fun all afternoon This pioneer ground This song is over 300 years old and Little trees need a chance to grow We are an island a rock in the stream was sung by the Voyageurs and It takes time and care We are a people as proud Coureurs de Bois who roamed They're a lot like us you know As there's been throughout Canada when it was a new In soft summer breeze nation. Such songs kept up their So many kinds of different trees Or in wild winter wind spirits when they had to paddle for up They look like one big family The home of our hearts, Cape Breton to 18 hours a day, and it also helped Big ones, short ones, baby ones too them to keep the oars working in I'll name this one after you Over the rooftops and over the trees rhythm, making everyone's work Within these new townships easier. It'll be a long time before he What do I see Is tall and strong like a grown up tree I see the black pit head V'la l'bon vent, v'la l'joli vent For now he's just a kid like us The coal wheels a-turning V'la l'bon vent m'amie m'appelle Playing out in the woods The smoke stacks a-belching V'la l'bon vent, v'la l'joli vent V'la l'bon vent m'amie m'attend And the blast fires burning And the sweat on the back 1-03 I'SE THE B'Y Derrier chez nous y'a t'un etang (2x) 1-01 SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT Traditional Is no joy to behold In the heat of the steel plant Trois beaux canards s'en vont baignant Oscar Brand The people of Newfoundland are fun- Or mining the coal I have walked cross the sand And the foreign-owned companies Trois beaux canards s'en vont baignant loving people who create wonderful Le fils du roi s'en va chassant Off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland songs about their everyday life. One of Force us to fight Lazed on the ridge of the Miramichi For our survival and for our rights their most famous songs tells the story Le fils du roi s'en va chassant Seen the waves tear and roar of a fisherman who goes out to catch On the stone coast of Labrador Over the highway and over the road Avec son grand fusil d'argent fish and take them home to his wife, Watched them roll back Liza. They have a unique way of Over the causeway stories are told To the great Northern sea They tell of the coming Avec son grand fusil d'argent talking in Newfoundland and Visa le noir, tua le blanc sometimes use words and phrases that And the going away From Vancouver Island The cities of America draw me away you would never hear anywhere else in Visa le noir, tua le blanc To the Alberta Highlands the world. And though companies come Cross the prairies, the lakes And companies go Oh fils du roi, tu est mechant To Ontario's tower I'se the b'y that builds the boat And the ways of the world From the sound of And I'se the b'y that sails her We may never know Oh fils du roi, tu est mechant Mount Royal's chimes I'se the b'y that catches the fish We'll follow the footsteps D'avoir tuer mon canard blanc Out to the Maritimes And takes them home to Liza Of those on their way Something to sing about And we'll fight for the right This land of ours Hip your partner Sally Thibeau To leave or to stay 1-07 CANADA IN MY POCKET Hip your partner Sally Brown Michael Mitchell I have welcomed the dawn Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour From the fields of Saskatchewan All around the circle 1-05 FAREWELL NOVA SCOTIA This song describes the significance of Followed the sun Traditional the symbols found on some of our To the Vancouver shore Sods and rinds to cover the flake Canadian coins. Watched it climb shiny new Cake and tea for supper Written just after the First World War, Up the snow peaks of Cariboo Codfish in the spring of the year this is a song about being prepared to I've got Canada in my pocket Up to the clouds Fried in maggoty butter defend our country. It is the official A little bit of history Where the wild Rockies soar song of Nova Scotia. A penny, and a nickel I don't want your maggoty fish And a quarter and a dime I have heard the wild wind sing They're no good for winter The sun was setting in the west Mean a lot to you and me Of places I have been I can buy as good as that The birds were singing on every tree It's more than pocket money Bay Bull and Red Deer Way down in Bonavista All nature seemed inclined to rest They're the symbols of our land And the Strait of Belle Isle But still there was no rest for me They're pictures of important things Names like Grandemere I took Liza to a dance For which this country stands And Silver Stone Faith but she could travel Farewell Nova Scotia Moose Jaw and Marrowbone And every step that she did take The sea-bound coast The maple leaf, the maple leaf Names of the pioneer Was up to her knees in gravel Let your mountains dark and dreary be Is a beautiful sight to see Named with a smile For when I am far away It waves 'hello'' to us below 1-04 THE ISLAND On your briny ocean tossed From the top of a maple tree I have wandered my way Kenzie MacNeill Will you ever heave a sigh And with every year that passes To the wild wood of Hudson's Bay Or a wish for me It grows like you and me Treated my toes The people of Cape Breton Island in So should we all grow straight and tall To Quebec's morning dew Nova Scotia have adopted this song as I grieve to leave my native land Like the lovely maple tree Where the sweet summer breeze their official song. It tells of their I grieve to leave my comrades all Through the leaves of the maple trees unique heritage as well as the hard life And my parents whom I held so dear The beaver, oh the beaver Tells us a story of great things to come that they endure. Due to And the bonny, bonny lassie Is a beautiful sight to see unemployment, many of their people That I do adore He's a happy, furry animal Yes there's something to sing about have had to go to the mainland or to Like a teddy bear with teeth Tune up a string about the United States to find work, but they The drums they do beat He's never ever lazy Call out in chorus or quietly hum continue to love their island home. And the wars do alarm He works all night and day Of a country that's young The Captain calls, I must obey Building houses for his family With a ballad that's still unsung Over an ocean and over a sea So farewell, farewell He's got no time to play Sharing the promise Beyond these great waters To my Nova Scotia home Of great things to come What do I see For it's early in the morning The schooner, oh the schooner For he goes burling down Alberta Bound, Alberta Bound The air is a mistress Is a beautiful sight to see Down the white water It's good to be Alberta Bound No man can embrace It's a great big wooden sailing ship That's where a log driver Alberta Bound, Alberta Bound When in passing she kisses your face That can sail across the sea Learns to step lightly It's good to be Alberta Bound It brings to other countries Burling down, down the white water Fly high where no eagle has ventured The things their people need A log driver's waltz Oh the skylight of Toronto And soar where no man's gone before And brings back things Please girls completely Is something you'll get onto There's no place for me Like chocolate bars But they say you've got to On the land or the sea And books for us to read When the drive's nearly over Live there for a while So I'll take to the air She loves to go down And if you've got the money On a wing and a prayer The caribou, the caribou And watch all the lads You can get yourself a honey Is a beautiful sight to see As they work on the river With a written guarantee Brave are the hearts He's a really big strong animal She knows that come evening To make you smile Of these knights of the air I'm sure you'll all agree They'll be in the town But it's snowing in the city For to greatly achieve He looks like Santa's reindeer And she does love to waltz And the streets are brown and gritty They must equally dare And he loves it when With her log driver And I know there's pretty girls On missions of mercy The wind blows cold All over town Or leaps into space So he lives up north Now to please both her parents But they never seem to find me Other worlds, other dreams to embrace With the polar bears She had to give way And the one I left behind me 'Cause he likes the ice and snow And dance with the doctors Is the reason that I'll be Alberta Bound And what of the future And merchants and lawyers What of the stars 1-08 THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND Their manners were fine 1-12 THE BLUENOSE Our path lies before us Woody Guthrie But their feet made of clay Michael Stanbury They soon will be ours There's none with the style The heavens lie waiting Many of us think that this is an original Of her log driver Several years ago, the famous With arms to enfold Canadian song.

  • Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance
    Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance Harold Toliver LYRIC PROVINCES IN THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE Harold Toliver Poets are by no means alone in being pre­ pared to see new places in settled ways and to describe them in received images. Outer regions will be assimilated into dynasties, never mind the hostility of the natives. The ancient wilderness of the Mediterranean and certain biblical expectations of what burning bushes, gods, and shepherds shall exist every­ where encroach upon the deserts of Utah and California. Those who travel there see them and other new landscapes in terms of old myths of place and descriptive topoi; and their descriptions take on the structure, to­ nality, and nomenclature of the past, their language as much recollection as greeting. In Professor Toliver's view, the concern of the literary historian is with, in part, that ever renewed past as it is introduced under the new conditions that poets confront, and is, therefore, with the parallel movement of liter­ ary and social history. Literature, he reminds us, is inseparable from the rest of discourse (as the study of signs in the past decade has made clearer), but is, nevertheless, distinct from social history in that poets look less to common discourse for their models than to specific literary predecessors. Careful observ­ ers of place, they seek to bring what is distinct and valuable in it within some sort of verbal compass and relationship with the speaker. They bring with them, however, formulas and tf > w if a loyalty to a cultural heritage that both com­ plicate and confound the lyric address to place.

  • Copyright Matters
    Copyright Matters The copyright clearance statement is included on the competition entry form. By completing and submitting the entry form, the quartet or the president/ team leader, on behalf of the chorus, is stating that to the best of their knowledge the arrangements the group is performing are legal arrangements; either they have been cleared through the copyright process, are original works, or are songs in the public domain. Generally, when you purchase music you can assume that appropriate permissions have been obtained. However, if you are not certain, it is acceptable to ask the music provider to verify that the arrangement has cleared the copyright approval process. Please be aware that lyrics, like the music itself, are copyright protected. Legal issues typically occur only when a performer makes musical or lyrical changes to a published arrangement without permission. Altering a few words to personalize the song for the performer is usually permissible; however, if the lyrical changes involve a parody, with very few exceptions a performer must obtain permission from the copyright holder to make such changes. Parody lyrics are defined by Jay Althouse in his book, Copyright: The Complete Guide for Music Educators, as follows: “Parody lyrics are lyrics which replace the original lyrics of a vocal work or are added to an instrumental work. In general, any parody lyric or the revision of a lyric that changes the integrity (character) of the work requires authorization from the copyright owner.” Copyright holders have the right to say “no” to any particular arrangement of their music, and they exercise that right frequently when it comes to parodies.

  • Moving Beyond the Law of the Fathers Toni Morrison's Paradise
    Law Text Culture Volume 5 Issue 1 Law & The Sacred Article 17 January 2000 Moving Beyond the Law of The Fathers Toni Morrison's Paradise M. M. Slaughter University of Kent Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.uow.edu.au/ltc Recommended Citation Slaughter, M. M., Moving Beyond the Law of The Fathers Toni Morrison's Paradise, Law Text Culture, 5, 2000. Available at:https://ro.uow.edu.au/ltc/vol5/iss1/17 Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Moving Beyond the Law of The Fathers Toni Morrison's Paradise Abstract You don't have to know the work of the legal theorist, Pierre Legendre, to read Toni Morrison's new novel, Paradise (Morrison 1997) but it doesn't hurt. The novel is not ostensibly about law (as one might expect, in Paradise there is no crime). Nevertheless, law is central to the novel. It is what the paradisal community rests on, the foundation of the symbolic order. It lays down what would be taken to be the inalterable places of this society and culture. Law is constitutive, what constitutes, constitutional; which as we shall see is no fortuitous analogy. Paradise is a story of foundations, or foundational myths, at the center of which is law. With unusual uncanniness, these not-so-buried themes in Morrison's work overlap with Legendre's psychoanalytically based legal theories. If his work is an explication and explanation of the symbolic function of law -- what rests in society's legal unconscious -- Morrison's novel is an illustration of it.

  • Venturing in the Slipstream
    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

  • 2020-2021 Senior Wills
    Cypress Ranch HS Choir Senior Wills 2021 Kristen Aviles I don't really know how to start this i feel like i've been writing me senior will since i found out these were a thing but now that i have to ive gone blank. This year has been strange, this isn't the senior year I had built up in my head but there's no way anyone could change our circumstances. We were dealt the cards and now we have to make the best of them. I told myself pretty early that I wouldn't let myself cry over my senior year, that so many people had it worse than me at the moment and the fact that I wouldn't get my last pop show was just a tiny spec of dust compared to what all was happening in the world. At the end of the day though as much as that is true it doesn't make it any less easy. The fact that I didn't get a normal pop show or winter concert, or even a choir olympics. The fact that my senior speech will have to be given on a zoom call, all of that stuff has slowly been chipping away at me this year. The only thing pulling me along is the thought that I traded this for a normal freshman year of college which has been strangely comforting this whole time. So no, this isn't the year i expected or wanted but it's what i got and there is nothing i could do to change that.
