a refrain based on the call-and-response of the
first piece, utilizing the text based on the Entrance
Antiphon for Palm Sunday. Both pieces are scored

Somlandela/Come And Follow—Alan J.
Hommerding. Based upon a traditional Zulu
melody, this arrangement includes both Zulu and
English texts. It relies on two-part vocals rather than
tuned instruments, so it can be used spontaneously
in many circumstances. A cantor guides everyone
through the verses for ease of community singing
and percussion and hand claps may be used to
enhance the music.

in our world, particularly on World Communion
