CASMA

We are taking part in CASMA this year and are finding the Benjamin Britten songs particularly difficult to learn. Here is a link to a website where you can download the lyrics, music and backing tracks. You will need to register, which is free, to get access to all these resources (scroll down the page for the link). Alternatively you can listen to performances by scrolling down and clicking on 'listen to Britten's Friday afternoons' - you do not need to register for this.

We need to learn:
Begone, dull care!
A tragic story
Cuckoo!
Ee-oh
Jazz-man
There was a monkey
Old Abram Brown
