LOCAL COMPOSER WRITES SONG FOR THE TRAVERS FOUNDATION CHARITY
'My Dream Is Still Alive' is the special anthem that local composer Lizzie Turney, aged 21 from Ashley near Market Harborough, has created for The Travers Foundation.
It was premiered at the charity's Young Stars Showcase at the Corby Cube in March of this year, but is now available for everybody to hear through a link on The Travers Foundation website - http://www.travers-foundation.org.uk/my-dream-is-still-alive.html
The song is a tribute to the charity and a celebration of all the young stars it has supported to realise their dreams and fulfil their potential.
The Travers Foundation is a Northamptonshire-based, volunteer-run charity which helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
Lizzie sings her own composition on this recording, which highlights the ethereal quality to her voice, and, combined with the delicate lyrics, is reminiscent of the multi-layered productions of Kate Bush or Enya.
Lizzie, who aims to write scores for films and television, is receiving financial assistance from The Travers Foundation to fund a musical production course in London. She is currently studying and composing, experimenting with software and using synthesisers to create a more modern sound.
Terry Forsey, Chairman of The Travers Foundation, said:
"My Dream Is Still Alive is a wonderful piece of music, and we are very grateful to Lizzie for writing it especially for us.
"The lyrics, which we've printed in full on the website, have so much meaning to them, and the anthem serves as an inspirational reminder to all the young people we support to keep on trying and working hard to achieve their dreams."
