 In early June 2007, seven Saskatchewan
women traveled to Boston
to record the vocal tracks for My Heart Is Moved, a new CD of music by Carolyn McDade
& Friends. In all, 85 women from 10 different bio-regions of North America -- many of whom had never before met --
gathered to sing! The CD will be launched Thursday Oct. 25 in Saskatoon and Friday Oct. 26 in Regina. “This project is deeply local,
circles of women caring for the global and local possibilities in their lands
and communities,” explains McDade.
The songs are an interpretation of the Earth Charter, a global People's document
that addresses how we, Earth's people, need to exist in relationship with
one's self, with others, with Earth, and the larger whole if we are to
sustain human life on this planet. Current work on the Charter began in 1994
with Maurice Strong, Chair of the 1992 Rio Summit, and former USSR President
Mikhail Gorbachev, Founder of Green Cross International. The aim of the movement
is to have the Charter officially recognized by the United Nations.
This
music, drawn from the heart and words of The Earth Charter, pulls us to where
waters run. . . seep. . . pool. . . We need these songs if we are ever to
rudder ourselves through the narrows to a deeper understanding of who we are as
planetary and cosmic beings, intent on the wellbeing of the community of life
of which we are inextricably a part. ~ Carolyn McDade
