Sililiza—Jim Papoulis,. This energetic, 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."

Sisi Kushangilia—Victor C. Johnson. Exuberant
rhythmic energy abounds in this African-style
original! The Swahili text of only four words

be glad!" The only accompanying instruments are

Sisi Ni Moja—Jacob Narverud. A celebratory,
highly rhythmic composition. The Swahili title
means "We are one" - meaning 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.

Siyahamba—arr. Ruth Morris Gray. Perhaps the
most well-known South African song, but offered
here in a unique arrangement with original material
in between verses that layers in with the traditional
melody and harmonies. Ranges are reasonable, and
the well-crafted harmonies are singable, rhythmic,
and easy to master. Both the Swahili and the
English text are utilized for a cohesive experience.
Suggested percussion lines are there for shaker,
djembe, and bongos to add to the lively texture.

Siyahamba—arr. Russell Robinson. This authentic
arrangement of a traditional Zulu folk song opens
slowly, then picks up the tempo as the drums
enter. Frequent repetition and accessible harmonic
lines broaden the appeal, and the final verse has
a descant. Included are performance/background
materials as well as a pronunciation guide.

Sorida—Rosephanye Powell. "Sorida" is a term
of greeting in the Shona language of Zimbabwe,
similar to "shalom" in Hebrew or "jambo" in
Swahili. This massive original work features
six percussion instruments, layered divisi vocal
patterns, a joyful solo, and a passage for semi-
chorus or vocal trio. With both secular and
sacred texts, this is a tour de force for festivals or
accomplished choirs and a totally unforgettable
musical experience!

Soy un Coya Chiquitito—arr. R. Eben
Trobaugh. A traditional folk tune sung by children
and families throughout Bolivia, Chile, and
Argentina, this South American piece is an ideal
multicultural selection for young treble choirs.
Plenty of unison and some simple sections of
harmony and canon make this a quick learn. The
Spanish text is supported with a pronunciation
guide and translation for your singers.
10981293 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.10
Stand Together—Jim Papoulis. From Jim
Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this
original piece should be performed with an Irish
flair that evokes a distant longing and yet is very
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..."

Sudraba Meness—Laura Jekabsone. This
beautiful contemporary a cappella concert work is
an original composition by the Latvian composer.
Translated as "Silver Moon," the Latvian or singable
English lyrics compare the moon and its phases to
the passage of time and our own reflection of life's
journey. Light pop-like melodies are surrounded
with subtle harmonies to create a serene setting
that is simply mesmerizing.
11372833 SSAATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.80
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 3.10
Take Time in Life—arr. Mark Burrows. "Take
time in life, better take time in life, 'cause you got
far way to go." This authentic Liberian folk tune
presents a positive message for living in this spirited
piece. The text is in English, as that is the official
language of Liberia, but the style and groove are
solidly West African. Add the percussion to the a
cappella setting for a dynamic performance!
11347672 Three-Part Mixed

Tambur—arr. Lajos Bardos. Few choral
arrangements capture the essence of Hungarian
folk music as well as this one does. With the original
Hungarian as well as English, it is an outstanding
cross-cultural selection that continues to be a
popular choice year after year.
1405018 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.25
TaReKiTa—Reena Esmail. In a vibrant cross-
cultural celebration, this original work is composed
in raga jog, an Indian classical melodic framework
that incorporates both major and minor. Repeated
riff-like vocalizations that mimic Indian instruments
are easy to learn, while the vocal slides and
captivating melodies combine to a spectacular
effect. Add the choreographed hand motions for a
truly exciting presentation!

Tengo, Tengo, Tengo—arr. Judith Herrington.
Sponsored by the University of New Mexico, this
folk song is from a collection of songs native to
the area. "Tengo" translates as "I have," but what
the song is really saying is "I have plenty." It is
a playful children's folk song which is delightfully
arranged for two-part voices with an entertaining
piano accompaniment.
11356934 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25
Thixo Onothando—arr. Michael Barrett. 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!
10882559 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.80
Three A Cappella Spanish Songs for Tenor-
Bass Choir—arr. Christi Jones. The whale, the
horse, and the elephant are the subjects of these
three delightful, brief a cappella Spanish folk songs
which may be performed as a set or separately. Set
in different meters, they are a great way to train
and feature your young tenor and bass voices for
concerts or festivals. Translations are included, and
there are pronunciation recordings available online.
11370924 TB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 1.95
Thula Klizeo—Joseph Shabalala/arr. Leanne
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 us a taste of Africa that is real and
soulful. Great for concerts and festival events.

Tipitin—Maria Grever/arr. Raul Dominguez.
Written by the United Mexican States's first well-
known female composer, this vals Mexicano
(Mexican waltz) makes a charming a cappella work
for mixed or treble choirs. The textured setting
offers well-conceived choral parts throughout,
sometimes using lower voices to provide a
dance-like underscore for the lilting melody. A full
translation and pronunciation notes assist in the
understanding and mastery of an entirely Spanish
text. Features an agile soprano on the optional solo
descant near the end.

Ton The—Jeanne & Robert Gilmore/arr. Susan
Brumfield. Based on a traditional French tongue-

Tongo—arr. Greg Gilpin. This traditional canoe
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!
