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.

that later combine into a textured two-part
tapestry for treble or changed tenor-bass
voices. Add the optional flute and hand
drum instrumentation (parts included).

Hheshe—arr. Mpumelelo Manyathi. An
ideal opening selection or processional,

an indigenous greeting song by the Zulu
people of South Africa. The simple text
celebrates and embraces life and the
blessing of seeing one another every day.

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!

Indlu yeGagu—Sipho Sithole/arr. Sizwe
Mondlane/ed. Michael Barrett. Based on
an isiXhosa saying of the same name, the
sentiment of this piece is that "it is better
to build than to destroy." Featuring South
African musical elements both traditional
and new, this dynamic arrangement is an
incredibly unique and compelling work.
A pronunciation guide and translation
are included.

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.

Inkosi Namandla—arr. Michael Barrett.
Opening as a slow and symbolic prayer
asking God for strength to stand against
injustice and wrongdoing, this isiZulu song
is a reimagining of the popular traditional
Tshwane church song Ke na le modisa.
It moves to an up-tempo section midway,
generating excitement and motion as it
moves toward its dynamic conclusion.
There are notated parts included for djembe
and shekere to enhance the texture.
