HL Indodana—arr. Michael Barrett & Ralf Schmitt.
t
This highly dramatic traditional South 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 and
TTBB versions, while the SSAA version uses a small
ensemble to present the melody with the remainder
of the choir providing the harmony. Translation and
pronunciation notes are provided.

contribution to the concert repertoire for more
discerning choirs!
