The Philadelphia Songwriters Project, a non-profit arts and education organization dedicated to the art and craft of songwriting, is delighted to announce the CD release of the live recording of their landmark choral event, Beyond Measure.
Performed in April, 2007, Beyond Measure was a musical extravaganza that blended the craftmanship of songwriting with the artistry of choral performance.
Ten songwriters, chosen from over 250 submissions, entrusted their unique melodies, lyrics, and music to two award winning music arrangers, John Conahan and James Wade. The arrangers then fashioned each song for performance by a multi-voiced choir or small vocal ensemble resulting in a perfectly harmonious union of songwriters, songs, and singers.
The concert, held in the spacious and acoustically lovely Church of the Savior in Wayne, was recorded by the superior sound technicians from Turtle Studios of Philadelphia. Expertly mixed and mastered by Turtle Studios’ Sound Engineer, Jeff Hiatt, the final CD caps off a two year long effort that fulfills The Philadelphia Songwriters Project’s mission of promoting the musical art form of songwriting and the songwriters who create it.
The CD features performances by a variety of vocal groups including the acclaimed Ana Crusis Women’s Choir, and the Select Choirs from Germantown Academy and Wissahickon High Schools. Song selections cover a range of genres and styles from the dissonance of the 20th century to the mellow roots of southern gospel.
The Philadelphia Songwriters Project is proud to present the art of the ten talented songwriters whose contribution to the local music landscape is Beyond Measure.

ABOUT THIS PAGE : This page is about promoting primarily songwriters and musicians with a smattering of photographers, painters, writers, and others involved in the creative arts tossed in for variety. In addition to this page, I'm on the Board of Directors of The Philadelphia Songwriters Project, a non-profit organization devoted to supporting and educating local and regional songwriters. This is a volunteer position, so I'm not on anybody's payroll, I have no axe to grind, no quota to make, no asses to kiss, nobody to impress. Donna's Featured Artists are artists whose work I admire and enjoy. They're artists I'd like to see other people learn about and enjoy too, and this is just a faster way to do it than accosting passers-by on the street. If you see someone on here that you think you might like, take the time to check them out. Drop by their page, or their website. Better yet, go and see them at a show. Let's keep breathing life into live music.

PECO SUCKS!:

Rather than rant on about the extortionist tactics of PECO Energy, the company that wants you to pay them more money than you actually owe for any service so they can hold it for a year until they decide you've earned the right to have it back, I've added an abbreviation of my sentiments to the page. Here it will remain until I have been released from indentured servitude to PECO.

If you'd like one of your own, shoot me an e-mail and I'll be happy to send you a copy of the image.
