n Saraspondaarr. Ruth Boshkoff. This charming
Dutch spinning song has an easy flow and a
sweet melody that is perfect in young voices.
Entirely in the Dutch language, it's repetitive in text
and melody making it easily learned. And, it has
become a widely-used selection in festivals as well
as concert settings.

calypso number which can easily be enhanced

H Shalom Chaverimarr. Catherine Delanoy. This
flexibly-voiced setting of the ever-popular Hebrew
song works equally well for three-part mixed, SAB
or SA voices. Any way, the canonic treatment of
the melody, lush choral harmonies and artful
accompaniment create a hauntingly beautiful
effect. This is an exceptionally fine choice for
holiday or spring concerts. Highly recommended!

universal appeal and is appropriate any time of
year. Highly recommended!

Sih'r KhalaqJim Papoulis. Sih'r Khalaq explores
the world of Arabic rhythms, textures, and style
in the interest of global fusion. The phrase "sih'r
khalaq" describes the kind of magic that exists in art
- magic that transforms and grows, and permeates
the soul. It literally means "creative magic."

phrases in Spanish. Supported by shaker, djembe
and agogo bells, the middle section has the feel
of a cultural celebration, with layers of spoken
words that lead us to the understanding, "listen,
hear, stand strong."

So Danco Samba (Jazz 'n' Samba)Antonio
Carlos Jobim/arr. Roger Emerson. Here is the
perfect way to introduce your young singers to the
Brazilian jazz samba, or bossa nova. Just enough
repetition, some simple scat singing, and English
subtext are a recipe for success. There's even a
jazz tenor sax on the recorded accompaniment
track, a tip of the hat to the great Stan Getz, who
started the bossa nova craze in the US back in
1964. This is a great teaching piece, too, with a
full page of performance notes, including translation
and pronunciation guide.

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..."

African folksong
BONSE ABA
arr. Victor C. Johnson.
Sizzling with celebratory rhythmic
energy, this African folksong loosely
translates as: "Those who sing have
the right to be called the children
of God." The only accompanying
instruments are hand drum (treble
drum), djembe (bass drum), and
shaker, which add authentic flavor
and opportunities for improvisation.
The vocal parts are easily learned due
their repetition and call-and-response
style. Highly recommended!
