Multicultural/World Music
n Kusimama (Stand Tall)Jim Papoulis.
Kusimama is written in a world-music style that is
accessible for choirs, both young and old, that are
just beginning to be exposed to world rhythms and
language - a sort of introduction to new languages,
syllables, body percussion and style. The text in
both Swahili and English is about standing tall on
the earth, not with anger or aggression, but with
hope, strength, acceptance, and positivity. The
voices, along with hand claps, stomps, djembe,
shaker and piano, all combine for an exciting world-
music presentation. Highly recommended!

4 Kuwa FurahaJim Papoulis. Kuwa Furaha is a
song about joy. More specifically, it is about the
simple and beautiful way that children have of
showing and expressing their joy. Jim Papoulis is
well known for his world music style of writing. This
rhythmic, energetic song, using a Swahili text and
djembe, will be quickly learned - your singers will
ask for it at every rehearsal! Highly recommended!
10429701 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
n L'dor Vadorarr. Rebecca Thompson. With a
text from the Hebrew Prayer Book, this simple,
memorable melody is a delight for treble choirs!
Opening in unison, it moves to a well-crafted
two-part texture. The middle section then features
a soloist or small group. The final verse is a rich,
sonorous, imitative statement, with a beautiful
descant-like obbligato. The piano accompaniment
supports the voices very well throughout.

4 La Maumariee (J'entends le loup)arr. Joni
Jensen. Here is an incredibly dynamic adaptation of
a popular French folk song. Quick and rhythmic, the
work reflects the determination and liveliness of the
girl in the poem who won't let others dictate her love
or her future. Meter changes, body percussion, and
the dancing oboe and piano parts all work together
in this challenging, entertaining arrangement. A
French pronunciation guide is available as a free
download from the publisher's website.

4 La VidaJim Papoulis. This rhythmic, high-
energy Latino-style piece lends itself to movement
as it celebrates life. Using traditional Latino
harmonies and rhythms, it also incorporates world
music sounds. The a cappella sections feature the
vocals; when the piano and percussion come back
in, it creates a fun party atmosphere!
10456931 SSAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
t Las Amarillasarr. Stephen Hatfield. Here's an
arrangement of a traditional Mexican song that
will require some work, but will be well worth the
effort! Set at a very fast tempo, with some tricky
syncopations, complete with yips, yelps and "ai
yi yie's," it's full of energy and audience appeal.
Two full pages of editorial notes provide cultural
background, a translation, a pronunciation guide
and instructions for body percussion (hand claps,
etc.) in the choir.

by Mary Goetze, provides a very effective contest
selection for unison choirs.
1542778 Unison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
n Liza (Water Come a Me Eye)arr. Steven
Burnett. Calypso rhythms and the infectious good
feelings of Caribbean music give this delightful
selection a genuine audience appeal! The colorful
performing options include hand claps, finger
snaps, assorted percussion and steel drums, and
a flashy vocal solo. Very accessible and easily
learned, this piece is a sure-fire winner!

n Loch Lomondarr. David Lantz III. Your choir will
sing their hearts out on this rich, delicious setting of
the traditional Scottish folk song. With or without the
optional parts for flute and cello, it is full of wonderful
tonal color. "Oh, ye'll take the high road and I'll take
the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye..." The
authentic inflections in the text will let your singers
achieve a truly Celtic sound. Highly recommended!

Mambo ItalianoBob Merrill/arr. Jill Gallina.
From Rosemary Clooney to Lady Gaga, and
countless television and movie appearances in
between, this hit single continues to entertain.
Now in this new choral arrangement, it's upbeat,
rhythmic, and pure fun - the perfect novelty number
for any concert! "Hey mambo, mambo Italiano! Go,
go, go, you mixed-up Siciliano!"

n Manx Lullabyarr. Lori-Anne Dolloff. Manx
Gaelic, as spoken on the Isle of Man, is similar to
the Gaelic spoken in Ireland and Scotland. Many
Manx folk songs make reference to birds, as this
one does. Oh ho-ro hi ri ri... as sung by the chorus
imitates the sound of a dove. Complete with a bird-
like obbligato on optional C-instrument, this is a
uniquely charming selection for unison voices!
3092160 Unison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
t
Mojubaarr. Brian Tate. This setting of a Nigerian
Yoruban folk song really sets a mood! Scored for
a cappella voices with a large array of djembes,
rain sticks and shakers, it creates a dramatic,
mysterious atmosphere that is quite amazing!
10297336 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
n Morning Song (Cherokee Amazing Grace)
arr. James Green. The familiar melody of Amazing
Grace holds great meaning to the Cherokee people.
In this wonderful choral setting, it is sung with
Cherokee words in combination with the Morning
Song of the Teehahnahmah Indian Nation to create
a compelling musical expression of the ideals and
desires of the Cherokee Nation. This simple canon
will be a very rewarding experience for treble choirs
in middle school through high school, especially
when performed with recorder, flute or low whistle,
shaker or tambourine, and drum (parts included).
The excellent performance notes and translation/
pronunciation guide make it easy to achieve an
authentic performance. Highly recommended!

l Msilale Wanawake (Women, Wake Up!)Paul

proverb song, with optional percussion, will transport
your choir to an African village. "To everything
there's a season: time for lullabies, there's a season
to rise, rise..."

n Murasame (The Mists of Evening)Victor
C. Johnson. This gentle original setting of
an eleventh-century Japanese text captures
the mystery and flavor of ancient Japan and
frames the middle section, which is in English.
Haunting melodies and simple harmonies are
complemented by optional chime tree and rain
stick for a distinctly Asian mood. A pronunciation
and translation guide is included.

H
Niska BanjaNicke Page. Niska Banja is a
Serbian Gypsy dance popular throughout the
Balkans. To Central Europeans, the 9/8 rhythm of
2-2-2-3 is as natural as a 4/4 rock beat is in North
America, and rapidly becomes both infectious and
quite natural. The 4-hand piano accompaniment
adds even another dimension to this charming,
compelling work.

Numi Numi (A Hebrew Lullaby)Yekhil Halperin
& Yoel Engel/arr. Jill Gallina. This traditional Hebrew
lullaby makes a lovely, sweet partner-style choral
feature, using English for the main tune and Hebrew
for the counterline (with phonetic subtext). A gentle
piano accompaniment supports both melodies in
this beautiful concert selection for any time of year.
"Sweet dreams, my precious one. Sun is gently
falling...night is softly calling."

Ht O Sifuni Munguarr. David Maddux.
A cappella recording group First Call premiered
this phenomenal arrangement on their album,
Somethin' Takes Over. Swahili texts alternate with
the poetry of All Creatures Of Our God And King as
the music dances over authentic African rhythms. A
jubilant expression of praise and the quintessential
multicultural feature for more capable choirs!
1702356 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75
H O Sifuni Mungu (All Creatures of Our God
and King)arr. Roger Emerson. Take a close
look at this! An accessible arrangement by Roger
Emerson, this phenomenal work, recorded by
First Call, is certain to be in great demand by
a wide range of choirs! Based on All Creatures
Of Our God And King, it features a powerful
African chorus with fiery syncopations, great
opportunities for soloists and a full complement
of percussion instruments. This is a uniquely
vibrant, spiritual work.

l Olarearr. Daisy Fragoso. Your young singers will
enjoy recreating the language, rhythm and music
of this traditional Portuguese song, popular in both
Portugal and Brazil. Easily learned, it tells the story
of an older sibling trying to get their baby brother to
go to sleep.

lt Orde-earr. Maria Theresa Vizconde-Roldan.
This colorful work from the Philippines portrays
the soundscape of the Cordilleras, a mountainous
region in the northern part of the country. Opening
with a peaceful chant, representing the rice fields
at sunrise, the tranquility is soon interrupted by
animal calls and festive shouts of children playing.
Serenity finally returns at sunset. A showpiece for
treble choirs!

H Ose Shalom (The One Who Makes Peace)
John Leavitt. This timely text from the Jewish liturgy
is brilliantly set in a lovely original work by John

n Oy Es Dia de Placer (Today Is the Day to
Rejoice and Sing)arr. Jody Noblett. This
Spanish dance tune is by Tomas Pascual, a Mayan
composer of the early seventeenth century. With
a simple message celebrating the joy of living, it
calls for accompaniment of maracas, bass drum,
log or slat drum, djembe and finger cymbals, all of
which create a festive, medieval sound. Singable
in Spanish or English, this will work well as a
processional or for madrigal festivals.
10067354 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
H Oye (Listen!)Jim Papoulis/ed. Nunez. Full of
life and energy, this work in Spanish and English
expresses the plea of Mexican children to the
rest of the world to listen to their cry for help. The
percussion and bass parts (included in the score)
really make it percolate from beginning to end, and
the performance notes make it easy to pronounce
and understand the Spanish. Now available
for treble and mixed voices, this is a very cool
multicultural feature with an important message for
today's world. Highly recommended!

Oye La Musica (Hear the Music)Jay
Althouse. Jay has really outdone himself with
this scorching Afro-Cuban original that is the
consummate Latin choral feature! A great music
text appears mostly in English except for two brief
Spanish phrases: "I hear the rhythm of life in
music." Infectious, driving, and totally irresistible,
this will be your choir and audience favorite that will
positively bring down the house! Enthusiastically
worthy of our highest recommendation!
