The National Association for Music Education (MENC) Announces the Green Anthem Project

The Green Anthem Project started out as a piece of music, The Green Anthem by Julie Lyonn Lieberman… an anthem for the planet. Then the project organically evolved into an interdisciplinary teaching curriculum designed to simultaneously foster 21st century music education and mobilize America’s youth with eco-friendly projects and concerts.

The Music Educators National Conference (MENC: The National Association for Music Education) has endorsed The Green Anthem and will be running a national choral competition. To participate, submit a choral recording of The Green Anthem for best-recorded version and if you win, your audio will be used and credited on the CD that will be used by educators and choruses world-wide to learn the song.

The beginner’s choral version will reach 6 million participants when MENC includes it in the 2010 World's Largest Concert.The Green Anthem curriculum is FREE to music educators at GreenAnthem.org and the scores are available for a nominal fee.

If your choir would like to participate in the competition, please submit your recording in .wav, mp3, or aiff format via email (greenanthem@greenanthem.org) to us by August 15th, 2009. Please include the name of your chorus, location, and contact information.
