Vol. 4 Celebrate Together, Songs for Ceremonies are an important part of growing up! Celebrate Together is a valuable collection of songs and musical accompaniment for all types of Ceremonies, from Badges, Flag, Campfire, Bridging, and many others. Appropriate for all levels, celebrating growth and potential.From Melinda Caroll…”Ceremonies from human time untold, have marked important events and achievements of individuals and communities. Since the inception of Guiding and Girl Scouting, ceremonies have served as our common global thread that weaves our noble past into an embraceable future. Ceremonies serve as our passageways and points of recognition of our honorable traditions. It is our ceremonies that bind us together as a family. Whether grand or small, formal and solemn, or playful and joyful, each celebration puts us in the light of seeing the finest and highest in ourselves and others.The art of music has been hailed as The Bridge, The Healer, and The Great Communicator. When used in ceremonies, music is all of these things and adds its rich and lasting dimension that carries the memory of each significant occasion. Though this album is but a small sampling of the vast musical possibilities for ceremonies, it is our sincere wish that these songs may inspire and infuse more meaning and creativity in your Celebrations Together!Produced by: Melinda Caroll Engineering & Co-Artistic Director: David Kauahikaua Mastered by: Kit Ebersbach, Pacific Music Productions Arrangements: Melinda Caroll & David Kauahikaua Musicians: David Kauahikaua - keyboards, synth programming, recorder flutes, & percussion.
