Sisi ni moja—Jacob Narverud. A cele-
bratory, 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

singers dramatically deliver the message.

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

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..."
