Manzanita Harmony had fabulous concerts on March 5 (in Tomales) and March 7 (in our home venue: Christian Science Church in Santa Rosa). Fully engaged singers and audience members. A lot of emotions with joy topping them all. Here is a 5+ minute video of concert excerpts.
Music & words by members of the American pop band, Walk the Moon: Ryan McMahaon, Ben Berger, Nicholas Petricca and Ei Maiman. Arranged by Wayne M. Grimmer. Inspired by the band's lead singer whose girlfriend invited him to dance. Written as an anthem for letting go of frustration and having fun.
Music & words: Rev. J.K. Alwood. Arranged by Shawn Kirchner. Inspiration for the song came when Alwood was traveling to his home in Michigan and saw a rainnbow against a dense black cloud. The sight "refreshed the balmy air." This gospel song has been covered by many vocalists including Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and most famously, the Staple Singers.
Music & words: Albert Hammond & Mike Hazlewood. Arranged by Walter Chase & Dan Ponce for the acappella group, Straight, No Chaser. The song was the debut single by the English rock band Radiohead. The band had not planned to release it but the producers changed their minds. They used elements from Hammond and Hazlewood's 1972 song, The Air That I Breath, as Creep's foundation.
Music & words: Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Arranged by Kirk Young. Soloist: Tim Imbach. Pasek and Paul are winners of multiple Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards for their work on La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and Dear Evan Hansen. Painting was part of their first project, a song cycle entitled Edges.
Music & words: Jason Mraz. Arranged by Kirby Shaw. Written in 2005 and released in 2008, it is Mraz's biggest US single. By 2021 it surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
Music: William Walker. Words: John Newton. Arranged by Doug Harrington & Rasmus Krigström. Soloist: Jasmine Lawrence. It is one of the most sung and recorded Christian hymns in the world. Newton wrote the poem in 1772. In 1835, American composer William Walker set the words to the tune known as New Britain. Newton had been involved in the slave trade. The song was central to his conversion to the Church of England.
