Songs to take you places - a collection of 9 delicious songs of warmth, wit and wisdom.

Tracks include Aussie originals by Fay: Put a song in the air, Bird's Eye, Flute Melodies and Little Welcome Song; Jane's beautiful Travelling Song, Annie Kennedy's Queen of the Rodeo and Peggy Daroesman's Home is the River.  Songs also by Kath Tait, the very funny Fading Roses on ageing and Claudia Schmidt's wonderful song of justice, "Rising".  Recorded by Mark Woods.

• "These People, This Place: everyday grace" - CD   $25 
This album collects the best of Fay's commissioned works of this past decade, together with a handful of songs never recorded before.  There are 14 tracks.  It has been beautifully recorded by Mark Woods and reflects his capacity to create crystal clear audio texture.  
​Most of the songs have harmonies by Jane Thompson who also brings a beautiful touch of accordion on "Gundagai Grace".  AJ Leonard enhances several tracks with sparkling guitar,  "Wildfire"bouzouki, ukulele or mandolin and James Rigby provides lovely texture on guitar and mandolin throughout. Andy Rigby plays his own hand-built harp on "Wind Harps of the Wimmera", Bruce Miller backs several tracks with double bass; Kristin Rule makes the cello speak and sing on "Wind Harps" and "Out of the Ashes", and Wendy Rowlands is effortlessly glorious on piano. The Hall family play Gamelan for the song "You are not my enemy", and a couple of songs "Lament for the Dja Dja Wurrung" and "Pomelo Tree" are sung a cappella by Fay, Jane, Polly Christie, James Rigby, Andy Rigby, Wendy Rowlands  and Terry White  - or some combination of the above.

• "Victoria Sings Short Stuff" - Double CD and Songbook - $44    
62 small songs, chants and rounds for group singing, choirs and sessions.   
“Short Stuff is a wonderful collection of short, appealing songs. The songs have captured something of the spirit of the people, and I find the simplicity and directness of these songs deeply touching and affecting. The collection features a diverse range of materials including sections on the natural world, on struggle and loss, and on peace and hope; this is a most versatile and useful body of work. It is my experience that these pieces have broad appeal and I use these materials in classrooms for students of all ages, for community singing, as well as in formal choral situations. Many of these pieces can be sung effectively in unison but equally, most are written in a manner which encourages part singing. As a classroom music educator and choral conductor deeply committed to inclusivity and accessibility, this collection is a core body of teaching repertoire to which I return over and over again. I wholeheartedly recommend this collection!! “  - Review by Dr James Cuskelly, Cuskelly School of music, (formerly University of Queensland Music Department), internationally renowned teacher and advocate of Kodaly method of Music Education.    

Produced by Fay White in conjunction with Community Music Victoria  - now in its second edition.
