The Composers Society of Singapore has received the following call from The Commonwealth Resounds:<\/p>\n
Deadline: 2 Nov 2021 (Th), 11:59 PM (UK GMT)<\/strong><\/p>\n We are delighted to invite composers from around the Commonwealth to write and send us songs based upon special lyrics written for the Queen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Platinum Jubilee Beacons.<\/p>\n Any composer who is resident in one of the 54 Commonwealth countries may enter for this competition.<\/p>\n Composers may be amateur or professional. There are no age limits. All entries will be gratefully received and acknowledged.<\/p>\n Composers may choose ANY ONE of these three sets of lyrics to use for composing their song:<\/p>\n No other lyrics will be accepted<\/p>\n We shall only be able to accept ONE SONG per applicant. If composers wish to update\/revise their song after submitting it, they need to send an email and discuss it with us before doing so.<\/p>\n Each song will be carefully considered and judged on its own merit as a piece of individual creative work and its suitability for the occasion.<\/p>\n Adjudicators will give equal consideration to everyone’s work – including songs produced without the use of expensive technology or professional backup.<\/p>\n When writing your song, remember it needs to be suitable for SMALL CHOIRS of about 6 people as well as LARGE CHOIRS of 100 voices or more.<\/p>\n The choirs may include participants of ANY AGE (children to adults). The song should be easy for them to learn and sing.<\/p>\n Singers involved may be of any standard, PROFESSIONAL or AMATEUR.<\/p>\n Many choirs will be singing the song out of doors, so the words must be clearly audible.<\/p>\n We shall need the song to have a very strong melodic line, so that it can be performed easily without accompaniment by some choirs (for example, those including very young children).<\/p>\n Your song may be submitted with or without harmony<\/p>\n Songs may be submitted in ANY the following formats:<\/p>\n If you have composed a song and do not know how to send it to us, please email commonwealthsong@commonwealthresounds.com<\/a> and we will help you!<\/p>\nImportant Information for Composers:<\/h4>\n
