Eatnemen Vuelie (Song of the Earth)—
Frode Fjellheim/arr. Emily Crocker.
The opening musical number from the
Disney animated feature "Frozen," this
song is inspired by indigenous Saami
and Norwegian culture, a combination of
Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas
hymn Dejlig er jorden, or Fairest Lord
Jesus, by B.S. Ingemann. Yoik is a very
old vocal tradition among the Saami people
of Scandinavia and Russia, characterized
by short melodic phrases that repeat again
and again, with small variations.

Everyday imagery comes to life; pictures
of smoke trailing from chimneys up to the
sky weave through a charming melody and

older treble groups.

English lyrics that can be used throughout
the year or to celebrate the Kwanzaa
principle of Umoja (unity). Djembe and

some light body percussion.

Golden Field (Guhm-Jan-Dee)—Hye-
Young Cho. In this emotional and lyrical
piece for advanced ensembles, the tragic
sadness of losing a loved one combines
with the vibrant vitality of spring. The
four-hand piano accompaniment and

traditional Korean daegeum and piri) add
to the pictorial and folk-like expression of
the poem.

Haida—arr. Henry Leck. Based on a
Chassidic round, this arrangement is
excellent to help a beginning chorus to sing
together in parts. First sung in unison, then
in a three-part round, the music is fun and
easily accessible. The word "Haida" has no
specific meaning, but is meant to be treated
much like "lah" in American folk music.
