The following 5 are excerpts from this song . The story of a voyage to Australia on the Marco Polo .

(SO+ WWs) Edwin’s Song I: Departure

Baritone Solo & Male Chorus

My name is Edwin Bird and a merchantman am I
I left the Salt House Dock. It was March of ’53.
I bade farewell to England’s charms and took the Marco Polo,
on a voyage to Australia where fortune beckoned me.

(SO+ WW) Edwin’s Song II: Underway

Baritone Soloist, Male Chorus

We ran 12 knots off Holyhead our second day at sea
With every lady on board sick and any of the men.
On Wednesday it turned to calm
and later in the evening
There was dancing, there was singing.
The band played once again.

(SO+WWs) Edwin’s Song III: Underway

(Baritone Solo, Male Chorus )

We started up a paper to be issued once a week.
It caused dissatisfaction, as it pointed out some blame.
A sailor on the 21st was roped because of stealing.
For a little rum filled bottle , the mate had spoiled his game.

(SO+WWs) Edwin’s Song:
IV Hope Renewed

Baritone Solo, Male Chorus

We reached the famed Equator it was hot on April twelfth.
With music , wine and champagne and the passengers in white. We went through squalls near Rio’s coast and on the 22nd, we passed the Cape in slack breeze with flying fish in sight.

(SO+ WWs) Edwin’s Song: V Arrival

Baritone Solo, Male Chorus

On Saturday the 28th we finally saw a light.
A plot came on board next day,
when we went through the reach…

On Saturday the 28th we finally saw a light
A pilot came on board next day,
when we went through the reach…

(SO+Eng.& Fr. Hn) Sailing Toward the Sun

Vocal Trio : Mezzo, Tenor, Baritone

With our sons and with our daughters we are cast upon the waters Saint Michael stand beside us, Saint Brendan safely guide us,
as we sail toward the sun…..

Sarah’s Farewell

Mezzo Soprano Solo
Flute, Clarinet ,Bass Clarinet
Viola, Cello,& Contrabass

My father used to work the land, he was a tenant farmer.
He used to take me by the hand, we’d walk the fields together. I’d reach for stars and touch the moon when in his arms he’d hold me but now he says we’re leaving soon my heart grows cold and lonely…And I am so afraid…and I am so afraid to go.

Sarah’s Farewell

My father used to work the land, he was a tenant farmer.
He used to take me by the hand, we’d walk the fields together.
I’d reach for stars and touch the moon when in his arms he’d hold me but now he says we’re leaving soon my heart grows cold and lonely And I am so afraid…and I am so afraid to go.

Southern Cross

A Lullaby
(Mezzo Sop, Flute, Harp, VA.,VC., CB)

There’s a light in the distant darkness tonight.
Soon we’ll be there, tomorrow I swear, May the fire in our heart and eyes be as bright . This is my silent prayer.
So rest, baby rest, by the shining be blest...

(SO)+To the Ends of the Earth
Baritone Soloist

They came from the whole world over, drawn to this lonely shore. These scattered and driven exiles, aching for something more. Through darkness and flight, through long winters night they
clung to this rugged space. By reaching for each new promise,
carving a home and place.

To the Ends of the Earth
