I loved all the pieces we sang at the #ChoirsForClimate concert, but this one is the most important to me personally. https://youtu.be/bhuk9j8pvrs Part of the #ChoirsForEcocideLaw project "The Rules" is a dark and intense piece - maybe the angriest I've ever written.
"All the rules say you can keep on taking water till the well runs dry
All the rules say there’s a fine but you can pay it when your stocks get high..." #NewMusic #Choir #Choral #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency

This song is about the way that companies sacrifice nature to make profits, and the people who make and enable those decisions face no consequences for their actions - but the chain of what they've done leads to destruction. We need a way to hold them to account - or we will all face the consequences, no matter who's to blame. Find out more about the campaign for #Ecocide law at https://stopecocide.earth #ClimateCrisis

And you can see everything from the #ChoirsForClimate concert in our playlist at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF4NwU3B2664iT75JIJVTRxasjkkn04J3 - more pieces will be added over the next few weeks. We're halfway there! After this one, I promise it starts to get a bit more hopeful and optimistic. The concert was built in five stages - nature, warnings, anger, solutions and hope - and this was the end of the "anger" section.
