UPC: 038081531304. Swahili. Traditional Lesotho Lullaby.

A combination of the traditional Lesotho lullaby with some original words and music, this arrangement pairs a simple African text with English lyrics on the same topic. All parts sing in unison first, laying the groundwork for both two and three part canons which soon develop. Legato verses and a hushed bridge provide nice contrast to the form. Choreography is on Alfred's Movin' DVD.

UPC: 038081561943. Lat.

Joyful syncopations propel us forward in this educational concert or contest selection. Contemporary yet logical sonorities come to life for developing choirs building their skills within limited vocal ranges. Notice how the marcato beginning and end contrast with a B section that is a touch more legato. Though sung entirely in Latin, there are only two sentences of text and a pronunciation guide is included. Perfectly crafted for intermediate groups, with the precisely vocal ranges you're seeking!

This absolutely lovely work will showcase your developing choir! Rossetti’s unique text calls attention to the simple beauty of the clouds, far lovelier than things made by man. The memorable melodies foster healthy legato singing and a brief a cappella section provides a delightful contrast.

This piece is paired with a traditional Irish melody, and the arrangement may be presented in a prayerful, reverent legato style during offertory or a brighter tempo and more spirited energy better suited for a gathering moment. Consider adding traditional Irish instruments to add authenticity to the overall sound.
