This months composer’s choice ‘Clouds Passing By’ has been written for you to sing to… Start for 3 minutes. Then try for 5. If you go for 15 minutes you will feel enlivened ! Winter skies here. Cold dry westerly winds. Happily rugged up at home watching the clouds scud across the sky and reviewing this months’ composer’s choice Clouds Passing By with my headphones on. The Key of G. Throat Chakra. Mixolydian scale. Sounds fancy . So why the throat chakra ? We all know that ancient and modern energy medicine has clearly pointed out that an imbalance in the 5th chakra can manifest all kinds of throat related maladies. It is also the zone of self expression and speaking the truth .So what does this actually mean ? The throat is an amplifier of sound. It emanates compression waves in space traditionally associated with truth, freedom of expression, with speaking your will – as well as manifesting your will. Sound organises and disorganises matter. It does not require many words to speak the truth Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (1840-1904) This months composer’s choice Clouds Passing By has been written for you to sing to.

Beloved – by Stephen Fearnley
A clear warm afternoon, a dusty road, a verandah, a view. Summer in Australia. This month’s Composer’s Choice composition is called “Beloved”. I wrote it for our special Valentine’s Event. It’s about old friends, country comforts and the sound of crickets and frogs in the early evening as there are dogs jumping through the tussock grass aglow with the rose-gold light of sunset. For all our friends in the northern hemisphere this is a bath of sunlight for you. It’s full of pinks and ochres. It’s full of swelling orange tones and slow, very slow transitions of saffron converging with the crimsons. It’s also in the key of F as well as the Lydian scale – The heart zone – and all the instruments are tuned to 432 Hz. – Play it when you need to fill the space with this particular ancient prescription of sound and vibrational form.
