Honour the Earth by Sarah Hopkins

The Wittenberg Singers and Dancers

Sarah Hopkins is an Australian composer-performer, who is highly acclaimed for her visionary music and inspiring performances for cello, harmonic overtone singing, handbells, choir and the celestial Harmonic Whirlies of her own creation. Commission by the Korowa Anglican Girls' School (Melbourne, Australia), Honour the Earth was written as a song of grateful praise to Mother Earth and a plea for us all to honour her. This piece brings together many cultural influences from the 'earth tribes' including Native American, African, Celtic, Aboriginal and Mongolian as well as the calls of nature herself, birds and flowing streams.

This performance was in celebration of Women's History Month 2011
