By Penny Burns. By Penny Burns. Arranged by Penny Burns. 21st Century,A Cappella,Folk,Multicultural,New Age,World. 4 pages. Penny Burns #839236. Published by Penny Burns (A0.1244273).This short, ethereal-sounding chant is arranged here for SATB. It starts with a brief introduction, then the four vocal parts sing the main melody and counter-melody in pairs, to form a doubled round. The melodies are different lengths, so as the round progresses, the related patterns shift and merge to create a strangely hypnotic, echoey effect. The whole song lasts for about two minutes.
The short, repeated phrases make it easy to learn and quick to teach, so it is ideal for warming-up, practice, or performance. The occasional use of a rain-stick and descending plinks of a sansula or kalimba can enhance the atmosphere of this enchanting song. (This song is also included in the 'Chants & Rounds' songbook.).
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
