authenticity of the piece. Live with ubuntu!

t WangolSten Kallman. Your students will like
this! It's a popular folk song from Haiti about a
country in change. Wangol is a voodoo spirit and
he is addressed in the song: "Wangol, you are
leaving. When will I see you again? The country
is changing." The words express the hope of the
Haitian people for change and a brighter future for
their country, while the music is easy to sing, with
a great groove and style, complete with rhythmic
percussion and pronunciation guide.
10356999 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55
lt WaniskaBrian Tate. A delightful arrangement
of a North American Cree Indian morning song.
Beginning with bird sounds, the melody line is first
presented by the sopranos. A pedal point is set by
the tenors and basses as the altos take their turn
with the tune. The 6/8 meter adds a swaying feel,
and the captivating melody will engage the singers
and audience alike!
10748268 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
t We SingBrian Tate. This creative a cappella
original has a life-affirming quality that is universally
appealing. Beginning quietly, the piece builds
with the joyful Latin text "Exsultate, jubilate,"
accompanied by djembe, cabasa and shaker.
Uniquely fresh and rhythmic, this is a marvelous
celebration of all the cultures of the world!
10454436 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45
n We WillJim Papoulis. Each time "chiku ah"
(chikoo ah) is sung it should be in a whispered
voice, with intensity. "Si mama, wototo" (stand
tall, children) is the response in Swahili. This
compelling piece uses both English and Swahili to
send the message that we must send the best part
of ourselves into the future through our children.
"We'll move on, we'll grow stronger, we will sing
another song, we will dream of a promise that will
bring a brighter day..."
10024347 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
n Who Can Sail?arr. Carl Agnestig. This Finnish
folksong, with its wistful melody and unencumbered
vocal lines, is an exceptional teaching tool for
musical phrasing and vocal blend. It is an artistic
selection that consistently appears on state and
regional festival lists.

4t Yemayaarr. Diana Saez. The chant melody
employed in this work was brought to America
from West Africa via Cuba. Pedal tones in the bass
support the melodic chant and create a meditative
mood. Notated body percussion and clapping enter
midway through the piece, adding a new texture.
Divisi throughout in all voices but very accessible
ranges and rhythm patterns make this a very exciting
and accessible multicultural work. Pronunciation
guide is provided, and a translation of the text is
alluded to in the notes. Highly recommended!

H Yo Le Canto Todo El Dia (I Sing to You All Day
Long)David L. Brunner. If you're looking for
something different in a "music" song, consider this
original inspired by the native music of Venezuela.
Full of infectious rhythms and playful melodies,
with some very effective hand claps, it conveys a
positive message through charming Spanish lyrics
which are great fun to sing.

Ht All Ye Who Music LoveBaldassare Donato/
Spevacek. Here's a stunning original work in
Madrigal style, this is light and airy, bright and
festive. Linda has taken a clever approach to the
famous Donato text, with lilting music and word
painting, which allows the choir to "warble" with
impunity! It's a fun introduction to Madrigals for
developing voices!
3253887 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from
"Spamalot")arr. Mac Huff. Totally cheeky
and irreverent, this tune from Monty Python's
"Spamalot" is a terrific concert feature, complete
with whistling and a kick-line ending! "When you're
chewin' on life's gristle, don't grumble." (The lyrics
are kid-friendly, with no profanity as in the original
Broadway version.) It's guaranteed to put a positive
spin on your performance! Highly recommended!

n Baa, Baa, Swingin' SheepAmy F. Bernon.
Amy Bernon has cleverly utilized the traditional
French melody and lyrics along with her own
original material to create a swingin' jazz style
partner song for young and developing treble
choirs. Laid-back music and a delightful text

accompaniment in this fun, new twist on a classic
folk song. A learning resource page is included.

song. Your developing male choir will hit a home
run with this showy, entertaining novelty. Play ball!

H Banquet FugueJohn Rutter. Beginning
with the lyric, "Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle, munch,
munch, gobble, gobble, chomp, pass the salt and
pepper...," you can immediately see the possibilities
for a delightful, tongue-in-cheek fugue! Recorded
by The King's Singers on the sound track recording
of John Rutter's operetta "The Reluctant Dragon,"
this is a most enjoyable selection which ends,
unfortunately, as do many good banquets-with an
audible expression of contentment.
1525765 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80
lt The Boy Who Cried WolfDarmon Meader.
Hilarious lyrics combine with a jazz setting with
close harmonies and solo opportunities in this
original and challenging setting of an Aesop fable.
Well worth the journey for the audience and any
seasoned ensemble. Consider programming it with
the first in the series - The Tortoise and the Hare.
10735200 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
n The Bull Frogarr. Lon Beery. Your young singers
will delight in the nonsense syllables of this clever
American folksong setting! "There was a bull frog
living in the spring, sing song Polly won't you ky-
me-o. He had such a cold that he could not sing...
Kee-mo dar-ro-wah, Hee-ma-ho..." Phonetic subtext
is provided for the nonsense words as the bull frog
story unfolds. This is great fun! Highly recommended!
10045373 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
The BumblebeeSally K. Albrecht. A true
charmer! The original text cleverly hovers along
the pitches of the major scale, and a slower middle
section, in the parallel minor key, provides a perfect
opportunity to discover and discuss tempo and
tonality. Complete with staging suggestions on
the video DVD, this is simply delightful for young
singers - your students will want to perform it again
and again! Highly recommended!

Chicken-scratchin' fun abounds in this clever,
singable arrangement of the 19th century dance
reels Hello, Susie Brown and Four in the Middle. It's a
terrific folk-song novelty, full of teaching opportunities
and down-home fun! Highly recommended!

n Chili Caliente! (Hot Peppers)David Giardiniere
& Joseph Martin. When it comes to jalapenos,
serranos, habaneros or chili peppers, some like
it hot, and some like it even hotter! This hilarious
novelty number blends the spicy sound of Rossini's
The Barber of Seville with a little Spanish flavor and
red-hot lyrics about peppers, salsa, and heartburn!
You might sing along on "I'm not regretting the
more I'm sweating" or be more inclined to sing
"Hot tabasco is a fiasco", but either way, everyone
gets to share in the fun. Just be sure to keep some
antacid handy when you perform this! "Caramba!"

H
Ching a Ring Chaw (and Great Gettin' Up
Mornin')arr. Linda Spevacek. These two
traditional songs fit together amazingly well in this
excellent concert/festival selection! Each voice part
becomes more independent as the arrangement
progresses, and when all the parts do their own
thing at the same time, with some "Hallelujah's"
thrown in for good measure, the result is pure
delight! Very well done!

ChumbaraDave & Jean Perry. Creative
possibilities abound with this fun, frolicking
arrangement of a French folksong that will remind
you of the Can-Can. It features a text consisting
completely of nonsense words, a rhythmic chant/
rap-style middle section, and an extremely clever
"dramatic" ending. You can even personalize the
piece by substituting a school name or special
teacher's name in place of one of the nonsense
syllables. A real audience pleaser!
