Translation and pronunciation notes are provided. 10457610 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 10792982 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 10792982L SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 He Inscription of Hope—Z. Randall Stroope. A profoundly moving text, written on a cellar wall during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with original music to create a deeply emotional expression of hope for all mankind.

Kusi- mama 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.
