Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Marcelo Borba #1089929. Published by Marcelo Borba (A0.1515575). Kelele” is a song by renowned Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo -Leadsheet Style “Kelele” is a song by renowned Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo, featured on her 2021 album Mother Nature. The song reflects Kidjo’s ongoing commitment to promoting social justice, unity, and environmental awareness, blending her powerful voice with vibrant rhythms and captivating messages.In “Kelele,” the word itself means “noise” or “clamor” in many African languages. The song is about making noise, not in the sense of chaos, but in terms of raising one’s voice and raising awareness about injustices and important causes. Angélique Kidjo often uses her platform to address critical social and political issues, and in this song, she calls on people to speak out against corruption, inequality, and climate change.The song’s rhythm is upbeat, combining Afrobeats, electronic elements, and Kidjo’s signature Afro-pop sound. The song’s dynamic energy reflects the urgency of its message: to not remain silent in the face of adversity and to take action for a better world.Within the broader context of Mother Nature, which features collaborations with a number of young African artists, Kelele fits into Kidjo’s mission to pass the torch to the next generation, empowering them to continue the fight for a sustainable, just and inclusive future.Through Kelele, Kidjo encourages a collective call to action and celebrates the power of community to address global challenges.

From the peaceful assurance of ?It Is Well with My Soul? to the rousing commitment of ?Called to Serve Medley,? each of these pieces is arranged beautifully to provide a memorable musical offering suitable for church services and other special occasions. Primo and secondo parts are fairly well balanced in difficulty and involvement, and for the most part are accessible to the intermediate pianist. ?Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing? is classified as late intermediate because it offers some more advanced rhythmic challenges and creative meter changes. 59 pages.

Piano,Violin - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1005690 Composed by Thomas John Williams, 1890. Arranged by Grace Joy Reid, 2021. Christian,Sacred,Spiritual. 8 pages. Creating Music Joy #6356583. Published by Creating Music Joy (A0.1005690). The text was written in 1875 by Samuel Trevor Francis. A Welsh hymn tune, Ebenezer, composed by Thomas John Williams. Legend has it that as a young man, Samuel Trevor Francis contemplated committing suicide by jumping into the Thames River from the Hungerford Bridge in London. Experiencing the love of Jesus, he wrote these lyrics and went on to write many poems, hymns, and became a preacher, in addition to being a merchant sailor. Hymn Lyrics1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus!Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,rolling as a mighty oceanin its fullness over me.Underneath me, all around me,is the current of thy love;leading onward, leading homeward,to thy glorious rest above.2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus!Spread his praise from shore to shore;how he loveth, ever loveth,changeth never, nevermore;how he watches o'er his loved ones,died to call them all his own;how for them He intercedeth,watcheth o'er them from the throne.3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus!Love of ev'ry love the best:'tis an ocean vast of blessing,'tis a haven sweet of rest.O the deep, deep love of Jesus!'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me;and it lifts me up to glory,for it lifts me up to thee.Source: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #463

SATB choir and Piano - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.1.3610-E Composed by Kyle Pederson. African American Heritage. Instrument part. 22 pages. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3610-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3610-E). English. From the arranger, Kyle Pederson To me, spirituals are the most powerful type of music. Spirituals were birthed and rooted in the experience of chattel slavery in the United States—and arose out of, as Arthur C. Jones asserts, “deeply meaningful, archetypically human experiences, relevant not only to the specific circumstances of slavery but also to women and men struggling with issues of justice, freedom, and spiritual wholeness in all times and places.†The original text of Soon Ah Will Be Done is as follows: Soon ah will be done with the troubles of the world (repeat) Goin’ home to live with God No more weeping and a-wailing (repeat) Goin’ home to live with God I want t’ meet my mother (repeat) Goin’ home to live with God I want t’ meet my Jesus (repeat) Goin’ home to live with God When I sang this spiritual growing up, I was struck by both the withering sorrow and expectant hope throughout. The melody and emotion has stuck with me since. When approaching my own arrangement, I hoped to honor the voice of the original writers and their experience of slavery, and I also sought to extend a voice to people today who are suffering from oppression and discrimination. I hoped an appropriate way to honor the experience of the original writers might be to invite the contemporary listener to envision and commit to a better, more just world today—a world of inclusion, radical kindness, compassion, love, and grace—a world where we have the courage to champion the inherent dignity and value of all people, a world where we will be done with all the ways we deny a person’s worth. A world where “heaven has come to earth.†In this arrangement, spoken word is incorporated throughout, intended to heighten the intensity of the performance, and meant to give a sense of immediacy to the challenge for the choir and audience to work together for justice, equity, and wholeness. Spoken word has often been used as the language of protest—and I include it intentionally as a way of giving voice to the choir members (and listener)—where all can stand in solidarity against oppression and injustice. If desired, choir members are encouraged to write their own spoken word text that speaks to issues of inequity and injustice in their own communities. I am writing this program note not long after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, MN, on May 25, 2020. As a Minneapolis area resident for the past 25 years, I want to take a more active role in working towards justice in my community. All proceeds received from the sale and performance of Soon We Will Be Done will be directed to ISAIAH—a multi-racial, state-wide, nonpartisan coalition of faith communities fighting for racial and economic justice in Minnesota. You can read more about the phenomenal work ISAIAH is doing at isaiahmn.org.
