n Pete, Pete!Victor C. Johnson. On the heels of
his wildly successful arrangement of the Zambian
folk song Bonse Aba, here is Pete, Pete! from
Ghana. Call-and-response-style writing makes the
vocal parts engaging and easy to learn, while conga
drum, shaker, woodblock and cowbell lend an
authentic African flavor (parts included in the score).
A pronunciation guide, translation of the text, and
program notes are included. This has all the right
stuff for a successful multicultural performance!
Highly recommended!

t Peze Kafearr. Sten Kallman. The perfect
change-of-pace number for any concert, this
colorful arrangement of a Haitian folk song has
lots of fun rhythms and sounds that you just want
to keep singing and hearing. It has an infectious
rhythmic groove, vocal percussion, and plenty of
repetition. The Haitian words are easy to learn
as they tell the story of a young boy who loses
the coffee he's supposed to sell at the market,
which gets him in trouble with his mother. It's
very catchy!

H Stand TogetherJim 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 song
is gentle and soothing; gradually, 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..."

l Tarantella (Jubilate Agno)Z. Randall Stroope.
The tarantella, meaning "spider dance," is a
popular Italian dance with origins in the eleventh
century from the villages of Tanto and Tarentum
("little spider"). Portions of Christopher Smart's
(1722-1771) Jubilate Agno text are also used.
The convergence of the medieval tarantella with
the writings of a brilliant poet who bordered on
the absurd, along with the infusion of random
rhyming words by the composer, makes a dramatic
synthesis of words to accompany the highly
energized, challenging music for TTBB choir and
string quartet or optional piano.
