5 Continents. Cette collection par Gwyn Arch de dix chansons folkloriques peut-être petit, mais cinq continents sont représentés au sein de ces 76 pages, et chaque continent.Du Mexique (Amérique du Sud) vient de La Cucaracha (le cafard), une chanson populaire en langue espagnole avec une mélodie mémorable et Cielito Lindo qui est tré par les Mexicains comme une sorte d'hymne national alternative. Le continent africain est représenté par une chanson à partir de la Tanzanie, Malaika, et une autre Afrique de l'Ouest se réjouir dans le titre Jikela Emaweni hamba sia. Les deux chansons ont été associés à la célèbre chanteuse sud-africaine et militant des droits civiques Miriam Makeba, et de nouvelles paroles (en anglais) ont été fournis par Stuart Smith. En Russie (Europe) musique folklorique est étroitement liée à la vie du village et ses traditions. Kalinka est la rêverie d'un jeune homme sous un pin, tandis que le bouleau Little était un symbole de la beauté en Russie soviétique. Le quatrième continent est l'Asie. S'il ya une chanson juive connue par les Juifs et non-Juifs, il doit être Hava Nagilah. Tum Balalaika est également un traditionnel yiddish, mais il est d'origine juive russe. Le Folkmusic des Maoris de Nouvelle-Zélande (Océanie) est principalement associée à la guerre chants appelé Haka, mais Hine e Hine et Pokarekare Ana révèlent l'influence des colons milieu du 19e siècle britanniques. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano
