Tremendous Journey
Tremendous Journey is a musical exploration of the amazing variety of life with which evolution by natural selection has endowed the Earth.
There are fifteen songs, written by Singtastic composer David Haines - some witty, some serious - ranging from classical to rock and from jazz to ballad.
Fourteen of the songs have already informed, inspired and excited thousands of children and adults worldwide. Two of the songs, Flying Creatures and Food Chain were written in collaboration with primary-age children. David wrote Biodiversity just a few weeks ago to celebrate International Year of Biodiversity 2010.
