Southampton Songbook 2014
Southampton Songbook 2014
The Southampton Songbook is a collection of original songs composed especially for the 50@50 project – a celebration of 50 events to mark 50 years of Southampton’s city status. Schools and individuals were invited to compose songs about Southampton’s people, places and history. The songs were mostly written with children and young people in mind (schools and choirs), however adults and community choirs may also find this book a useful resource to add to their repertoire.
Each song contains original lyrics and in some cases, children from several primary schools in Southampton have played a key part not only in writing the lyrics, but also offering ideas for the melodic, creative and stylistic content.
