Emily's Original Compositions
Choir Compositions
Emily's choir compositions are the enviable combination of heart-felt, simple and musically interesting. Often inspired by the gospel and North American folk songs of her musical roots, her songs come from a deep desire to sing in harmony and in community, about what she truly believes in.
Some of her songs have been passing through the oral tradition for a number of years now, to the point where she has been taught her own songs a number of times by others, before they knew that she wrote the song originally! And while she loves this, and believes in the power of song being everyone's birthright, she is trying to find the balance between supporting this and being valued for her gifts (and being able to pay her bills). So, if you have taught her songs, please consider supporting her song-writing by buying the songs, even if you already know them.....
If you can't afford to pay her anything, she would still love you to keep singing her songs - and let people know she wrote them.
She has a growing catalogue of songs and she is in the process of setting up an on-line store, but for now she is starting with the 3 songs below.
You can order the learning/ part tracks and sheet music for any of them ( £10 each) by sending an email to Emily - emroblyn@gmail.com.

Hold You In Our Circle
Written in 2003 for a dear friend's wedding, it has, since then, been sung for baby blessings, funerals, at the closing of groups, and even at other people's weddings.

This Is A Wave
Inspired by the words of her teacher's Colin and Fanny, this song is perfect for calming the waters and welcoming what is.

Fire In My HeartSometimes there is a burning in my chest and I don't feel peaceful - but that burning is actually for peace - in the world around me, for the people I love, and for myself.
