Introduction to Earthsong
EARTHSONG will make history by bringing together music artists and styles
from every nation on earth in a series of albums between 2009 and 2015.
Each year one album from this EARTHSONG ANTHOLOGY will be released and coincide with the United Nations General Assembly meeting of world leaders. Each double-album will contain 27 of the selected 'Millennium Anthems' from diverse nations. With 192 countries currently recognized by the UN this will amount to seven double-albums in all.
Additional songs submitted by thousands of world artists will be housed in the EARTHSONG ARCHIVE and become available for 'select & format' download. The Anthology and the Archive will be the most comprehensive catalogue of world music ever compiled. Revenues generated will fund the EARTHSONG INITIATIVE and remunerate the contributing artists from around the world.
The Earthsong Portal
The Earthsong Portal will not only carry the World Music Archive - but will also function as a 'touchstone' for the peace movement around the world. The Earthsong Fund will be dynamically assisting many agencies directly engaged in the lobbying for and promotion of Ministries for Peace.
Humanitad will use the Earthsong platform to galvanize these movements as well as carry petitions from 192 nations in support of the agenda.
The World Music Archive Portal
The Earthsong World Music Archive will interface between artists-of-the-world and music lovers across the globe.
The portal will register the thousands of artists who submit their original songs into the Millennium Song Challenge. They will also be permitted to place a further nine songs into the Archive under their own profile-page.
The public will be able to register votes online as well as be able to select and manage their own compilations of songs from the Archive before downloading for a small fee. All revenues will be equally divided between the Earthsong Fund and the selected artists.
Calling Out to Artists of the World
This call-to-action is a direct invitation to songwriters and recording artists in nations across the globe to submit an original song for possible selection and inclusion in the EARTHSONG ANTHOLOGY - and make a piece of history! The songs selected as national Millennium Anthems will feature on one of the seven EARTHSONG double-albums - to be promoted across the globe. As the 'sound of the nation' it will reach the ears of over a billion people.
Each year some of the EARTHSONG selected artists will be chosen to feature alongside major stars at the MDG Awards international telecast show. EARTHSONGS enshrined in this record-breaking ANTHOLOGY compilation will help raise planetary consciousness and pay toward the implementation of Ministers for Peace in each government - effecting real change in our times. Other submissions may be selected for the EARTHSONG ARCHIVE and be available for download via a 'select & format' service.
This service will enable visitors to compile and download their own albums for a small fee. Revenues will fund the EARTHSONG INITIATIVE as well as pay royalties to each of the contributing artists.
The Earthsong TV Challenge
THE EARTHSONG TV CHALLENGE will launch in nations all over the world.
The show will spotlight the artists and bands from each country that make it
to the finals for the Earthsong Millennium Anthem selection. Chosen artists
will showcase their songs to their nations allowing for public participation.
The chosen songs will be widely promoted as the new 'sound of the nation'.
Television crews will take the viewers not only to world cities - but to remote
locations in deserts, jungles and islands in 192 countries.
The EARTHSONG TV CHALLENGE will differ from current music-challenge TV formats by placing emphasis on original material. All of the submissions will be previously unpublished songs. Thousands of artists and bands will be able to make their voices and music heard inviting a rennaissance in original songwriting - furthering the spectrum of both popular and traditional music. Countless artists are waiting to be born on the international stage. EARTHSONG is the platform that they have been waiting for..
