beginning chorus to sing together in parts. First

Psalm 133, Hine Ma Tov is translated "How good
it is for all of us to dwell together in peace." The
meaning of the Hebrew text is universal, as is the
appeal of the lively music, which cleverly shifts
between major and minor. The delightful "lai lai lai"
refrain will make your audience want to clap along!

lyrical, this ancient Hebrew text about unity still
resonates in our world today. The very nature of

Love yodeling? Your students just might start to!
This charming Swiss folk song evokes the sound
of hiking the Alps. The arrangement generously
passes the melody between all the voice parts

fun, team-building multicultural experience for
developing choirs. Add choreography, too!

blessed. Peace in coming and in going, peace in
labor and in rest..." This is accessible to choirs at
