Tiny Movements (Gordon Hamilton)

New album 'Elsewhere' out now: theaustralianvoices.com/albums
--------------------
Happy Easter from Four Winds and The Australian Voices! We were slated to premiere this song at the Four Winds Easter Festival (in Bermagui NSW), but unfortunately we can't physically be together at this time.

‘Tiny Movements’ was commissioned by Four Winds from composer Gordon Hamilton. It was always going to be a gift to the NSW South Coast community for us all to sing together.

TAV singers recorded the sound and videos from our homes all over Australia (and the world!). Four Winds' Artistic Director James Crabb joins us on accordion.

You’ll be able to hear TAV sing the song at the 2021 Four Winds Easter Festival. In the meantime – please stay safe and well.

Our thanks to: Four Winds; James Crabb; David Francis; Anita Patel; Festivals Australia; Sam Dale.

Words inspired from the poems in ‘Small Kingdoms’ by Anita Patel

VERSE 1
So much life on this bright rock
Feeding the earth with hope

CHORUS
Pulse and beat
Beneath our feet
Silent work
Beneath our feet
Tiny movements, unheard unseen

VERSE 2
Fern, fungus, soil and seed
Feeding the earth with hope

VERSE 3
Small friends, in times of need
Feeding the earth with hope

VERSE 4
Big water and small hands
Feeding the earth with hope
