Rebecca Baxter leads our Oxford Circus, London Courageous Choir - It’s Time
Here is her biography
Having followed up a musical childhood by studying Vocal Studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I have a background mainly in classical and choral singing, and over the last few years have come to specialise in encouraging others to sing, rather than my own performances. I work as a Vocal Animateur, Workshop and Choir Leader for various companies, including the Royal Opera House and the Southbank Centre, and thoroughly believe in and enjoy the happiness that singing brings to people’s lives.
Over the years I have had a tempestuous relationship with singing, falling in and out of love with it, and my own voice, and therefore sympathise with and appreciate the fact that singing can be, to some (or sometimes most!), a very daunting experience. For some people it’s that they had a negative experience of singing at a young age, perhaps at school; for others it’s something that may have been a huge part of their life in the past which, for whatever reason, feels too far away to be a part of anymore. I thoroughly believe in the positive effects and healing qualities of singing and am thrilled to be working with the COURAGE TO SING to encourage more people to experience, or rediscover, the joys of singing.
We can all sing - sometimes we just need to be reminded how!
Here are the lyrics for the songs The It's Time Choir are currently singing:
All My Trials
1. Hush little baby, don’t you cry.
You know your mama was born to die.
All my trials, Lord,
Soon be over.
2. If freedom were a thing that money could buy,
You know the rich would live, and the poor would die.
3. There is a little book with pages three,
And every page spells liberty.
4. There grows a tree in paradise.
And the pilgrims call it ‘The Tree of Life’.
Make You Feel My Love
1. When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace,
To make you feel my love.
2. When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years,
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
3. I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue;
No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do,
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea,
And on the highway of regret.
Oh, the winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.
4. I could make you happy, make your dreams come true,
Nothing that I wouldn’t do;
Oh, go to the ends of the earth for you,
To make you feel my love.
Beatles Medley
I think I’m gonna be sad,
I think it’s today, yeah!
The girl that’s driving me mad
Is goin’ away.
She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to ride
And I don’t care.
Penny Lane: there is a barber showing photographs
Of ev’ry head he’s had the pleasure to know.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say "Hello".
On the corner if a banker with a motor-car;
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain – very strange!
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,
There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit.
And meanwhile back,
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,
There beneath the blue suburban skies.
Penny Lane.
Asked a girl what she wanted to be.
She said, "Baby, can’t you see?
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen.
But you can do something in between:
Baby, you can drive my car.
Yes, I’m gonna be a star.
Baby, you can drive my car,
And maybe I’ll love you."
Beep, beep, mm, beep, beep. Yeah!
