MULTICULTURAL & WORLD MUSIC
Sih'r Khalaq—Jim Papoulis. Sih'r Khalaq explores
the world of Arabic rhythms, textures, and style
in the interest of global fusion. The phrase "sih'r
khalaq" describes the kind of magic that exists in art
- magic that transforms and grows, and permeates
the soul. It literally means "creative magic."

uplifting work fuses the rhythms of African,
American and Latin cultures, and uses a text
primarily in Swahili but interspersed with phrases in
Spanish. Supported by shaker, djembe and agogo
bells, the middle section has the feel of a cultural
celebration, with layers of spoken words that lead
us to the understanding, "listen, hear, stand strong."

4L Sisi Ni Moja—Jacob Narverud. Ever clever,
composer Narverud came up with a highly rhythmic
celebratory composition. The title translates "We
are one", the theme being that all human beings
have much in common. The energetic djembe sets
the tone, the piano adds its own rhythmic design,
and the singers dramatically deliver the message.

4t Sivela KwaZulu (We Are from the Zulu
Kingdom)—arr. Bernard Kruger. With insightful
program notes, an easy-to-read pronunciation
guide, notes on using the percussion, and an
elegant score, here is a wonderful introduction for
your tenor-bass choir to sing a high-energy folk
song from Africa. Though it is listed as four-part,
the piece begins in unison and adds one harmony
line on each repetition, eventually culminating in
four parts. A quick learn that sounds impressive for
young tenor-bass choirs.

Siyahamba—arr. Donald Moore. The magical
effect created by this wonderful South African
folksong is remarkable! The Zulu text is sung first
(pronunciation guide is included), then an optional
English translation may be used on the second
verse. Use the optional parts for conga, tam and
maracas to enhance the bubbly, dance-like feeling
of the piece. Your singers will naturally want to
incorporate some movement in their performance,
such as a simple step from side to side. Your choir
will love it!

H Stand Together—Jim Papoulis. From Jim
Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this

hopeful in the present. The beginning of the song
is gentle and soothing; gradually, the energy starts
to increase, leading up to the refrain, "If we stand
together, we will sing forever of the dreams growing
in our hearts..."

lt Suri Suri Masuri—Hyun Kook. An exciting a
cappella choral texture surrounds this setting of
words that Korean children chant, similar to when
American children yell Abracadabra and expect
magic to ensue. The tempo is marked prestissimo,
and the whirling dervish of layering chorals create a
mesmerizing effect that cresecendos and ends with
a vigorous stomp by the entire choir. Truly unique!

Tafta Hindi—Greg Gilpin. Look no further for that
unique multicultural programming gem - Gilpin's
setting of this Middle Eastern folk song is bright,
fun and flirtatious! The text, in classic Arabic, tells
the story of a traveling salesman selling Indian
muslin, taffeta, and other pretty material and wares
for women to purchase. The Arabic is repetitive,
easily learned, and helps fuel the rhythmic feel
of the melody and overall style of the piece. A
pronunciation guide and translation are provided,
along with helpful performance notes.

t A popular South African song of praise, the
texture is dominated by three soloists who portray
leadership roles in the community. Layering choral
parts develop the harmonic structure, while free
interpretation of clapping, stomping, percussion
and movement are encouraged. Cascading
hosannas in the final section add a special
dimension to the otherwise rhythmic a cappella
setting. Exciting!

MacDonnell. After successful voicings for 2-part and
SAB, it is right to provide an SATB voicing of this
delightful number. Joseph Shabalala, best known in
the U.S. for his collaboration with Paul Simon, gives

arr. Andy Beck. A combination of the traditional
Lesotho lullaby and original words and music,
this arrangement pairs a simple African text with

the groundwork for the two and three-part canons

provide nice contrast. Choreography is available on
