Songs of a Rainbow Nation: Four Songs from South Africa

Songs of a Rainbow Nation: cuatro canciones de Suráfrica.

Arranged by Alexander L'Estrange.

If you are looking for straightforward and rewarding repertoire for your beginner choir then look no further. These simple choral arrangements have been carefully designed to provide rewarding, varied repertoire for beginner choirs. The Simple 3-part choral arrangements for soprano, alto and a combined part for men?s voices make the series perfect for choirs with a dearth of males or whose male singers have unstable or changing voices. The rich array of repertoire is bound to be a hit with younger singers and the technical abilities of choirs at this level have been taken into consideration. Straightforward and idiomatic piano accompaniments have been included and are designed to support the vocal lines, without putting pressure on staff with less developed keyboard skills. These four stunning songs celebrate the cultural diversity of South Africa, including a wedding song and a weeping song from the 1980's calling against the injustices of Apartheid. It also includes the refrain from the Zulu anthem N'kosi Sikekeki Africa (God Bless Africa).
