There are no wrong answers as they dig into this wonderful song.

Secret For The Mad

SSAB

British singer, songwriter Dodie says “I wrote this for a friend who I heard was going through a rough time. Today, though, I sang it for myself.” This song offers a proactive opportunity for you and your students to discuss ways to deal with worry and anxiety.

Make it your own.

Vichten

SSA

Composer: Arthur Arsenault

Joyful, energetic, and just plain fun describes this piece by Acadian composer Arthur Arsenault. The words are made up of nonsense syllables, similar to Scottish “mouth music” where the voices are intended to mimic instruments. With optional percussion, spoons, and handclaps, this piece exemplifies unbridled joy. More “outside the box” material from the Carrie Tennant Series.

Malakatumba

SAB & SSA

Composer: Josu Elberdin

Malakatumba was born as a game, using imitating sounds and vocables that could form words with resonances t other languages. there really is no meaning to the sounds. It opens with a 4 voice canon on top of a 3 voice harmonic base. Each voice builds a fun ostinato with colorful harmonies and the use of body percussion as a festive element. It is a work that invites you to dance and sing with joy and rhythm.
