Babethandaza [level: Medium]
arr. Daniel Hughes
| Daniel Hughes Choral Series
voicing: SATB div. | catalog number: SBMP 914 | duration: 3:30
| price: $2.20
accompaniment: percussion
This arrangement of Babethandaza adds into its musical fabric one of the most beloved songs from South Africa, Siyahamba. The message of both texts is one of persevering through times of trial. They are a unique pairing in that Babethandaza is a song about gaining strength from our ancestors, while Siyahamba is a song about how divinity helps us move forward. By combining these two texts, this arrangement becomes a song about how the past empowers us, and the present inspires us to move into the future bravely.
Special thanks to Ysaye Barnwell of Sweet Honey in the Rock for the verses in Babethandaza. The words in Babethandaza represent both older and newer versions of the Zulu language; they are not normally found together in the same setting. Ms. Barnwell's own transcription of the piece, in her ground-breaking publication Singing in the African American Tradition, was the first time these two versions have been brought together.

Three a cappella songs on the theme of water, the poems by the famous Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, the colorful music by an Argentinian composer. Cantos del Aqua is a work of great lyicism with expressive melodic lines emulating the flow of the taciturn water near the bird-covered quaking poplars, the naked water near trees cut down at dawn, and the undulatory water scented by the orange and olive trees from the Andalusian rivers.

Caroling Fantasy [level: Easy]
arr. B. Wayne Bisbee
voicing: SATB or SSA | catalog number: SBMP 1041 | duration: 2:50
| price: $2.50
accompaniment: piano, flute, handbells, perc.
Composer Bisbee has created a festive and clever medley of The First Noel, Sing Nowell, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and Have a Merry Christmas. An aleatoric rendering of the latter greeting leads to the final dramatic phrase: “And a happy new year.” Throughout, a sprightly flute part decorates the melodies; the piano adds great rhythmic and harmonic support; the handbells add elegance with their special ring; and the drum and triangle add rhythmic emphasis and sparkle. The versatile arrangement can be sung by treble choirs and/or by mixed voices. This piece is a great choice for concluding a holiday concert, perhaps with more than one choir combining forces.
