n We WillJim Papoulis. Each time "chiku ah"
(chikoo ah) is sung it should be in a whispered
voice, with intensity. "Si mama, wototo" (stand
tall, children) is the response in Swahili. This
compelling piece uses both English and Swahili to
send the message that we must send the best part
of ourselves into the future through our children.
"We'll move on, we'll grow stronger, we will sing
another song, we will dream of a promise that will
bring a brighter day..."

n Who Can Sail Without the Wind?arr. Dan
Forrest. "Who can sail without the wind? Who can
row without oars? Who can leave a parting friend
without shedding tears?" This sentimental folksong
from Sweden is artfully arranged for mixed chorus
and piano four-hands. An excellent opportunity to
feature two student pianists with your choir!

A World We Cannot SeeJim Papoulis. Drawing
from a message he hears around the country
from young singers, Jim Papoulis writes of the
importance of nurturing and developing one's inner
spirit and personality, as well as accepting others
for who they are. This rhythmic, energetic new
piece in English and Swahili celebrates the journey
of our individuality, one that we cannot always see.

n Yesu Kwetu Ni Rafikiarr. Mark Burrows. In
2009 composer Mark Burrows started a music
academy for children in Kenya. Upon finding
out that What a Friend We Have in Jesus was
a popular hymn in Kenya, Mark decided to
arrange a version of the hymn using both the
English and Swahili languages. Western and
African cultures come together in this piece and
enhance each other greatly. The use of African
percussion will deepen the authenticity of the
piece. Children and audiences will adore this
joyful adaptation of the hymn!

commitment to the power of belief in oneself is
reflected in the strength and conviction of this

accented style that builds to an uplifting conclusion.

lives is one your students will easily relate to, and it
