| To help ensure they inherit a healthy, beautiful planet, Save the Whales has released “Songs to Heal Our Planet: Children Singing to Save The Earth.” Proceeds will support Save The Whales’ educational programs
This CD features 16 fun and inspiring songs that promise to delight listeners, while at the same time raising awareness about a variety of environmental issues. Music is used to engage young people in learning more about the natural world.
The CD project began five years ago when Joan Cobb - songwriter and music teacher -wrote “Save The Whales” for Save The Whales’ website where It can still be heard there sung by 11-year old MaggyMay Trout. That song inspired worldwide requests for the Save The Whales song and the creation of the popular Sing to Save The Whales Day, now held each year in May.
It begins with a rousing “Earth Day” song featuring MaggyMay - now a high school junior - backed up by the Beluga Children’s Chorus, a group of eight girls between the ages 6 and 12. Justin Gaudoin is the rapper and Tyler Tolles, the percussionist, on “Whale Rap.” Ryan Hogans, age 18, solos on “Earth Day” and “Keep It Green.” All the performers live in the Monterey Bay, CA area.
“People Want Peace” features the Beluga Chorus singing the theme in 17 languages. Other compositions include the haunting “Condor, Condor” with words and music written by an 11-year old girl, and “Whales Are Chubby” based on a poem written by an 8-year old Kansas boy and set to music by Joan. Save The Whales founders, Maris Sidenstecker I and II - mother and daughter - wrote “Vaquita Chiquita” to highlight the plight of the vaquita, a small porpoise in the Sea of Cortez. There are fewer than 200, making them the world’s most endangered cetacean. Joan wrote the music and the song features a beautiful guitar accompaniment by Stephen Krilanovich.
A beautiful bonus feature is the song “Ocean Spirit” from Rhythms of Breath by John Villa, Didjeridu Master and World Percussionist.
