Harmony Dreamers is a global musical collective led by songwriter Byron Lee Scott. “Pass It On” is the latest single and video from the group’s acclaimed album, “I Come From Earth.”
Veteran songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Byron Lee Scott founded Harmony Dreamers as a global musical collective geared towards bringing together artists from all over the world. Aiming to create music that spreads the message of love and peace across the globe, Harmony Dreamers have released a fan-favorite, “Pass It On” as the latest single from the band’s album, “I Come From Earth.” With more than 100K Spotify streams of their catalog, the song and video for “Pass It On” have led playlist listens and views among the group’s releases.
“This song has a crazy back story,” said Byron Lee Scott. “When I was writing the song years ago, I was telling some lady about the song I was writing, ‘Pass It On.’ She quoted a verse which I thought was perhaps some ancient poem, it struck me. I used something similar in the bridge lyrics, ‘Love wasn’t put in your heart to stay, love isn’t love ’till you give it away.’ It turns out she was paraphrasing a quote from Oscar Hammerstein II. It is said that this quote is from a hand-written inspirational note passed to the young actress portraying Maria in the play, “The Sound of Music.” There is other information saying that the lyrics show up in the stage play in the reprise of the song “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” but omitted from the film. The words have since been used in dozens of songs, including ones by Reba McIntyre and Leonard Cohen. It’s funny that Hammerstein essentially said pass it on, in his note. Then his message got passed on to me in a strange way.”
While Scott did solo lead vocals on their first singles, Pass It On,” features one of the 8 female vocalists on the album, Tyler V, sharing the lead with Byron. Additional musicians in the single’s female-heavy lineup include Ciara Moser, a bass player with Berkley scholarships, who is blind since birth; Marta Rosa Dia from Spain on percussion; Tyler V on vocals; and Byron’s long-time band mate Larry Dragland on drum kit.

BRENTWOOD BENSON, the world’s leading contemporary evangelical choral catalog, features music from acclaimed arrangers Russell Mauldin, Travis Cottrell, Bradley Knight, Cliff Duren, Marty Hamby, Jay Rouse, Luke Gambill, and David and Celeste Clydesdale, to name a few. The catalog’s award-winning array of products is anchored by the best-selling choral series, READY TO SING, from arranger Russell Mauldin and songwriter Sue C. Smith, with over 3 million READY TO SING Series books sold.
Christian music publishing veteran, Dale Mathews, has been tagged to lead BRENTWOOD BENSON as Executive Vice President. Mathews will report to J. Thomas McAfee, Chairman and President of Celebrating Grace.
“I am beyond thrilled to be back at Brentwood Benson,” Mathews said. “I spent 28 years there, with the last 15 years of that time as President of the company. I have a special affection for the Brentwood Benson brand, and a passion for servicing the Church with excellent music resources. Nothing could make me happier than for things to have come full-circle, once again making these great products available to churches and creating new projects that will lead us into the future.”
“Brentwood Benson has been a respected name for a long time in the church music world,” McAfee said. “When Brentwood Benson closed last year, I began discussions regarding acquiring and relaunching the brand under Celebrating Grace’s banner. With its award-winning catalog and history of providing music for the church for over 100 years, I knew we could develop a great team to rebuild the publishing organization. Our team looks forward to making available accessible and worshipful music from the existing catalog and creating new music for the worship of God.”
“The suspension of the Brentwood Benson choral business last year left Capitol Christian Music Group with heavy hearts,” said Casey McGinty, General Manager at CCMG Publishing, “so we are elated to be passing this iconic choral catalog into the hands of Dale, Tom, and Celebrating Grace. With their experience and passion, they are the perfect people to reinvigorate this timeless catalog and provide compelling new choral resources to the church. We look forward to supporting them in their launch and service to the church.”
