H Haida—arr. Henry Leck. Based on a Chassidic
round, this arrangement is excellent to help a
beginning chorus to sing together in parts. First
sung in unison, then in a three-part round, the
music is fun and easily accessible. The word
"Haida" has no specific meaning, but is meant
to be treated much like "lah" in American
folk music.

t In Meeting We Are Blessed—Troy Robertson
& R. Gatsnahos. The part for djembe imparts a
traditional African feeling to this easy, original
a cappella work. The Gatsnahos text, inspired
by John Donne, has a theme of friendship and
unity that all can relate to. "We are met together

theme of a spurned lover, but with a twist at the

lL Indodana—arr. Michael Barrett & Ralf Schmitt.
t This highly dramatic traditional African song is a
true musical gem, presented a cappella at a slower
tempo. Arranged by two South African composers,
the ethnic flavor is palpable as the upper voices
carry the melody and the lower voices provide the
harmonic underlay in the SATB version, while the
SSA version uses a small ensemble to present the
melody with the remainder of the choir providing
the harmony. Translation and pronunciation notes
are provided.
