Kuimba Nafsi Yangu—Jacob Narverud. Kuimba
Nafsi Yangu is a celebratory song derived from
common Swahili phrases of joy: "Sing my soul,
sing my heart. Sing for peace, sing for joy. There
is so much love here, yes!" Intended as a concert
opener or closer, this spirited piece is pure energy
from start to finish as the piano and djembes drive
the momentum forward while the choir sings in call
and response. Highly recommended!

Kusimama (Stand Tall)—Jim Papoulis.
Kusimama is written in a world-music style that is
accessible for choirs, both young and old, that are
just beginning to be exposed to world rhythms and
language - a sort of introduction to new languages,
syllables, body percussion and style. The text in
both Swahili and English is about standing tall on
the earth, not with anger or aggression, but with
hope, strength, acceptance, and positivity. The
voices, along with hand claps, stomps, djembe,
shaker and piano, all combine for an exciting world-
music presentation. Highly recommended!

Kuwa Furaha—Jim Papoulis. Kuwa Furaha is a
song about joy. More specifically, it is about the
simple and beautiful way that children have of
showing and expressing their joy. Jim Papoulis is
well known for his world music style of writing. This
rhythmic, energetic song, using a Swahili text and
djembe, will be quickly learned - your singers will
ask for it at every rehearsal! Highly recommended!

4L Kye Kye Kule—arr. Greg Gilpin. With lively
t percussion parts, handclaps, and a straightforward

the words that describe a beautiful dancer. Before
you know it, the dancer has been beckoned to
join you and now it is also a love song. Fabulous
melody and a real Latin spirit - this will be a favorite
of singers and audience alike.

La Monja Blanca—arr. Christy Elsner. La
Monja Blanca (the White Nun Orchid) is the
national flower of Guatemala and symbolizes
peace, beauty and art. This folk song in Spanish
is appropriately set for easy a cappella treble
voices. Light and lyrical, it is as beautiful as the
flower for which it is named!

Las Amarillas—arr. Stephen Hatfield. Here's
an arrangement of a traditional Mexican song
that will require some work, but will be well worth
the effort! Set at a very fast tempo, with some
tricky syncopations, complete with yips, yelps
and "ai yi yie's," it's full of energy and audience
appeal. Two full pages of editorial notes
provide cultural background, a translation, a
pronunciation guide and instructions for body
percussion (hand claps, etc.) in the choir. Now
available also in SATB voicing.

4L Mangisondele Nkosi Yam—arr. Michael Barrett.

song from the Zulu culture and is written in the

the choir. Dramatic and powerful, the piece builds
throughout with an exciting rhythmic section at its

Manx Lullaby—arr. Lori-Anne Dolloff. Manx
Gaelic, as spoken on the Isle of Man, is similar to
the Gaelic spoken in Ireland and Scotland. Many
Manx folk songs make reference to birds, as this
one does. Oh ho-ro hi ri ri... as sung by the chorus
imitates the sound of a dove. Complete with a bird-
like obbligato on optional C-instrument, this is a
uniquely charming selection for unison voices!
