Shelter Music

Shelter Music Maine is committed to bringing classical chamber music concerts to sheltering environments throughout Maine.  We believe all people, no matter their circumstances, deserve access to the healing powers of classical music.

Lyrics:

Red Sox Forever and Ever
O Red Sox forever and ever,
forever and ever Red Sox,
beyond players,
beyond top brass,
beyond errors,
beyond betrayals,
beyond sorrows,
beyond the Rosea Soleae Grail,
forever and ever Red Sox,
world without end forever,
O Red Sox forever and ever, amen.

    Text by Patricia Van Ness


The Parting Glass
A Celtic Farewell

O all the comrades that e’er I’ve had
Are sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts that e’er I’ve had,
Would wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call,
“Goodnight, and joy be with you all,
Goodnight, and joy be with you all.”
