creative piano part, a modal feel, and chant
elements. A pronunciation guide and translation

He Eatnemen Vuelie (Song of the Earth)—
Frode Fjellheim/arr. Emily Crocker. The opening
musical number from the Disney animated feature

and Norwegian culture, a combination of Saami
yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn Dejlig er
jorden, or Fairest Lord Jesus, by B.S. Ingemann.
Yoik is a very old vocal tradition among the Saami
people of Scandinavia and Russia, characterized
by short melodic phrases that repeat again and
again, with small variations. With English, German
and Norwegian versions of the text, synthesizer,
percussion and optional male yoik.

to Switzerland, each song in this suite is a poetic
postcard that captures every lush, romantic

performed with string quartet.

Lt In Meeting We Are Blessed—Troy Robertson.
e The use of a 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 and in meeting
we are blessed. Peace in coming and in going,
peace in labor and in rest..." This is accessible to
choirs at many levels, and it makes a wonderful
processional!

song of praise and celebration from South Africa.

quick learn with a huge impact.

t Mu Mano Tulge, Latse—Cornelius Becker/arr.
Colton Martin. This is a folk hymn from Estonia,
with a text using a South Estonian dialect. The
text enters the gospel passage of Jesus' words
to "let the children come to me". The arrangement
intentionally seeks to preserve the meekness of
both text and tune, and is suitable for sanctuary
or concert hall.

te Ndikhokhele Bawo—arr. Lhente-Mari Pitout.
The Pretoria Youth Choir from South Africa under
their director Lhente-Mari Pitout has traveled the
world spreading the joy of traditional South African
music. Now this music finds a new home with the
professional choir EXIGENCE, which features the
music of black and Latinx composers under the
direction of Eugene Rogers. This wonderful work
starts slowly as a prayer, then builds in intensity.
Repeated patterns abound. The djembe part is
notated in the music. A complex yet joyful and
exciting cultural work.

He Ose Shalom (The One Who Makes Peace)—
John Leavitt. This timely text from the Jewish
liturgy is brilliantly set in a lovely original work
by John Leavitt. Its simple message of peace
is enhanced with soaring melodies and lyric
instrumental lines, making it a strong choice as
a multicultural or a Hanukkah feature. Very highly
recommended!

We will sing! We will be glad!" The only
accompanying instruments are shaker, hand
drum and djembe, which add an authentic flavor
and texture to this celebratory and accessible
multicultural selection.
10998118 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.10
L 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.

awareness. A cappella with Native American
instruments suggested to create a compelling
choral experience with authenticity and inherent
musical value for better mixed divisi choirs.
Unique!

Suliko—Brent Wells. Perhaps the most well-
known folk song from the country of Georgia,
the poem speaks of lost loved ones who can still
be found in "the rose's bloom, the nightingale's
song, and the star's shining light." Lovely vocal
writing with a beautiful and supportive piano
accompaniment.
11162832 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85
HLTongo—arr. Greg Gilpin. This traditional canoe
te song from Polynesia sounds very impressive
with handclaps and percussion instruments
adding to the choral texture. The echoing voice
parts suggest people communicating from canoe
to canoe as they travel between islands. The
Polynesian text is simple, and a pronunciation
guide is included. A refreshing change of pace in
the multicultural category!

e Turn the World Around—arr. Mark Hayes.
Harry Belafonte cowrote and recorded this feel-
good Jamaican-style piece which is based on
the idea that humanity is derived from the three
basic elements: fire, water and earth. Set in
simple 5/4 meter, it's catchy and fun!
10511031 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.50
t Ubuntu—Christi Jones. Ubuntu, the essence of
being human, simply means we need each other,
are made better by each other, and cannot exist
as human beings in isolation. With traditional text
based on this African (Xhosa) philosophy, this
piece is sure to draw in any audience. While the
percussion is optional, it will add much to the
authenticity of the piece. Live with ubuntu!
