Hela Rotan—arr. Ken Steven. This is a popular
Indonesian folk song about the game of tug of
war from the island of Maluku in the Moluccas.
It is a call to live in togetherness, even though
there are differences that attract each other. Full
divisi, the native language, and close harmonies
provide a challenge, but most of the piece is
ostinato-based which provides an anchor.

Hine Ma Tov—arr. Allan Naplan. Inspired
by 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!

Ikan Kekek—arr. Yu Hang Tan. This Malay
folk song about a pony fish has a short
melody made up of only four notes, but the
song is brought to life by the expressions and
metaphors in the poem. The body percussion,
movement, and descant are meant to be
improvised and organic, making this work a lot
of fun for your choir!

In Meeting We Are Blessed—Troy Robertson.
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!

Indodana—arr. Michael Barrett & Ralf Schmitt.
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 who are experts in
this genre, the arrangement is a well-crafted
representation of the isiXhosa song. 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.

Inscription of Hope—Z. Randall Stroope.
A profoundly moving text, written on a cellar
wall during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with
original music to create a deeply emotional
expression of hope. With brief narration and
the echo of a Russian folk melody, this is an
important contribution to the concert repertoire
for more discerning choirs!

concert closer! A pronunciation and translation
guide are included along with a percussion part
for djembe.

It Takes a Village—Joan Szymko. The familiar
African saying, "It takes a village to raise a child,"
is appropriately set to tribal-sounding music in
this marvelous cross-cultural feature. A great
closer, this piece is a proven audience favorite!

J'ai vu le loup (I Saw the Wolf)—arr. Emily
Crocker. This fast-paced French folk song
dates back to the medieval era. Many versions
of the song exist, and they all feature animals
imitating humans by dancing, laughing, and
singing. Similar to J'entends le moulin, the
persistent rhythm and engaging vocal lines
make this an ideal choice for developing
diction, precision, and tone in younger singers
while exposing them to the French language.
