Song Resources
NEED HELP? Here are many different resources to help you use our songbooks more effectively in a wide variety of settings.
"The Music Box" - This is an easy-to-use searchable online database which provides audio links & a wealth of additional information for over 2500 songs - including all the songs in our three songbooks, Rise Up Singing, Rise Again, and If I Had a Hammer. Its newest feature is an ARTIST SEARCH PAGE. Sign up for our mailing list to receive updates as this database develops new features.
ALSO - Learn how to:
- Locate the songs in our books a bunch of different ways
- Learn the tunes for songs in the books
- Play them using the chord system Rise Up Singing & Rise Again use
- Obtain permission from the copyright holders to songs to use their songs in print or on recordings, and
- Find links to other resources available for learning more about these and other songs and the artists who have created them.
We've learned with Rise Up Singing & Rise Again that you can't create a book with this many songs without having pesky mistakes sneek in. Some corrections are listed on our Rise Again corrections page. If you find mistakes in Rise Again, please email them to us at correx@riseupandsing.org. We are enter corrections as we discover/receive them in a spreadsheet for future printings of the songbook. THANKS for your patience and remember, we encourage you to write in your songbook, change up the chords, make notes for yourself...make the book your own! - Annie & Peter
