authentic setting of this popular children's
song from the Sunda region of West Java,
Indonesia, this a cappella arrangement
features short soprano and tenor solos

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!

A Transylvanian Wedding—arr. Steve
J. Sandberg. Based on the traditional
Romanian folk song Rokenlied, this
arrangement sparkles with the energy
and festivity of a wedding celebration
that offers timely advice to the bride
and groom. One verse is in Transylv-
anian Saxon, but the majority of the text

a violin duet offers support and vibrant
character.

Tshela Moya/Ke nna yo Morena—arr.
Michael Barrett. These two traditional
Sesotho songs fit beautifully together
with sacred texts and call-and-response
techniques between the soloists and the
choir. Varying in tempo, Tshela Moya is
slower with a sense of yearning, and Ke nna
yo Morena picks up in speed and rhythmic
intensity to bring a natural growth to this
concert arrangement.

Tshotsholoza (Go Forward)—arr. Jeffery
L. Ames. This rousing arrangement of the
popular South African freedom song has
become a standard in the choral repertoire.
With call-and-response vocals, Xhosa text,
and rhythmic percussion accompaniment,
it transports the listener to South Africa,
where the song is often referred to as the
unofficial anthem of the country. It was used
in the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated
movie "Invictus," and served as South
Africa's battle call at the 2010 World Cup.
This is essential multicultural programming!

Tuba—arr. Michael Barrett. This South
African song is believed to have originated
during the difficult Apartheid years and
performed as a peaceful protest song. Tuba
is translated as "a dove," and the call and
response texture makes reference to the
story of Noah and the dove that brought an
olive branch after the great flood to signify
that the worst is over. The baritone soloist
presents the initial melody while the choir
builds the harmonic structure in rhythmic
excitement. Improvised percussion and
vocal ululation are encouraged!

Tue, Tue (Ghanaian Folk Song)—arr.
Ruth Morris Gray. Vocal ostinatos join
one by one in the opening of this rhythmic
arrangement of an authentic Ghanaian folk
song. Unison lines, block triads, and a reset
of the dynamics in the choral bridge are a
blast. Repeated sections make for quick
learning and easy memorization. Plenty of
teaching moments here, along with a nice
pulse and groove that choirs will enjoy.

Turlutte acadienne montrealaise—
Marie-Claire Saindon. An original melody
hailing from the traditional Acadian and
Quebecois practice of turlutte (mouth reel
or mouth music), this sparkling a cappella
work imitates an instrumental reel or jig with
voices only. Body percussion, traditional
percussion, or a mix of the two are a fun
addition (tutorial video is available).

Tree)—Kestutis Daugirdas. Based on an
ancient Lithuanian part-song, this vibrant
Baltic folk tune is a joy to learn and sing.

Vichten—Angele Arsenault/arr. Hart
Rouge. This high-energy piece for a
cappella treble choir with optional body
percussion and spoons is fun to sing and
dynamic to perform. Written in the style of
an Acadian folk song, the words of Vichten
are made up entirely of nonsense syllables,
similar to Scottish "mouth music" where the
voices are intended to mimic instruments.
