Singing and Dreaming: Words and music by Marguerite.

I wrote this piece on retreat in Iona shortly after my father’s death. The inspiration came from

a musical drama about a Finnish legend; A mother singing her dead son back into life.

Singing and Dreaming is for 3 women’s voices

Heartfelt gratitude to all the singers and musicians who helped with this project
including; Sweet Edge who have sung these pieces in many concerts, my family for
their love and Fiona Dobie (my singing teacher) whose smile gives me confidence.
A deep bow to my Sufi Retreat Guide, Noor Jacobs who inspires and encourages my
creativity. Warm thanks to Oli Whitworth for his sensitivity, musicality and friendship.

Dedicated to the memory of my father Ronald Watts: a Quaker, agriculturalist and journalist who was ‘smitten by Africa’.
