n Chili Caliente! (Hot Peppers)David Giardiniere
& Joseph Martin. When it comes to jalapenos,
serranos, habaneros or chili peppers, some like
it hot, and some like it even hotter! This hilarious
novelty number blends the spicy sound of Rossini's
The Barber of Seville with a little Spanish flavor and
red-hot lyrics about peppers, salsa, and heartburn!
You might sing along on "I'm not regretting the
more I'm sweating" or be more inclined to sing
"Hot tabasco is a fiasco", but either way, everyone
gets to share in the fun. Just be sure to keep some
antacid handy when you perform this! "Caramba!"

H ChindiaAlexandru Pascanu. A favorite with
concert and festival choirs since its publication in
1993, this delightful work is based on a Romanian
folk dance. The text, comprised of various syllables
throughout (Ra pa ra pa; ta ka ta ka; di ri di ri, etc.),
creates a stunning choral effect that will give a very
special, festive feeling to your performance!

n Cover Me with the NightAndrea Ramsey.
Here is an upbeat and fun song that uses a
prayer text from Ghana translated into English.
Syncopated rhythms that repeat throughout make
this a perfect choice for any choir. Opportunities
for optional solos and trios occur several times in
the piece. A suggested djembe part is included
with the piano accompaniment, although it
would be completely acceptable to add additional
percussion beyond what is notated.

lt Da Kami Ay Anan-akMaria Theresa Vizconde-
Roldan. Here is a song that celebrates the joy of
childhood - the playfulness, the newness, shrills and
laughter. Based on Kankana-ey, a Filipino folk song,
the words are also in Filipino as well as nonsensical
sounds. An exuberant piece, it begins slowly but
quickly accelerates, adding foot stomps, and finally
ending in joyful sounds of children's laughter.

4 Dance with Me to My HeartJim Papoulis. This
energetic and lively piece is about discovering the
power of our own voices and letting them dance;
setting ourselves free, exploring and learning to
let go of preconceived notions of how we "should"
be or "should" think. Combining this uplifting
text in Swahili and English with driving rhythms
in the vocal parts and the piano, djembe, and
stick accompaniment makes this both a fun and
memorable song for singers and audience alike!
Highly recommend!

Dirshu Adonai is a sensitively composed meditation
with beautiful layered harmonies that build to
rich harmonic clusters. The echoing solo quartet

Eatnemen Vuelie (Song of the Earth)Frode
Fjellheim/arr. Emily Crocker. The opening musical
number from the Disney animated feature
"Frozen," this song is inspired by indigenous
Saami and Norwegian culture, a combination of
Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn
Dejlig er jorden, or Fairest Lord Jesus, by B.S.
Ingemann. Yoik is a very old vocal tradition
among the Saami people of Scandinavia and
Russia, characterized by short melodic phrases
that repeat again and again, with small variations.
With English, German and Norwegian versions of
the text, synthesizer, percussion and optional
male yoik.

El Coquiarr. Mark Burrows. This traditional
Puerto Rican song is a whimsical tune about a small
nocturnal tree frog. Accessible and interesting two-
part writing and the use of percussion instruments
including a "croaking frog" guiro is fun for a wide
range of ages. The piece may be sung entirely
in Spanish, entirely in English or a little of both!
A wonderful opportunity for multicultural learning.

A dynamic 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 to their
repetition and call-and-response
style. Highly recommended!
