Stand Up! Songs by Michael Stern

Description

This volume is devoted especially to themes of justice, peace, wonder, compassion and love. Included are brief personal explanations about what inspired each song, a few comments about writing songs, and the presentation of the music in a format that is accessible, readable and sing-able for a variety of folk musicians, singers and song leaders. To that end, the scores prepared here are simply melodies with chords. They are not fully arranged for piano or four-part harmony (though a few of these songs have been more fully arranged and are available elsewhere.) We have left the music here open to individual interpretation, creativity and unique skill sets. (Source: Google Books API)
