The melody of this traditional Irish folk ballad begins in unison and then cascades into a contrapuntal wordless vocalise that mirrors the imagery of the text.

Randy Stonehill's familiar and well-known song sounds and feels as if it has always been a part of the folk song or spiritual genre. This a cappella setting uses optional percussion and is designed for easy learning to create an atmosphere of musical accomplishment, especially for smaller and younger choruses. Repetition is a key component but the addition of solo opportunities, key changes and a creative B section lifts this to a level that will appeal to choirs of all sizes and experience. A wonderful programming choice that will become a favorite year after year.

Translating as Hush or Quiet child, baby, little one, this arrangement incorporates a South African folk song lullaby with additional original music using lyrics from another South African lullaby. The subtle percussion, included in the choral, is played lightly as the piece begins in unison, then a round, adding harmony and later a descant which provides a heavenly layer above the folk melody.

Venga Nel Nostro Coro, alternatively called Canone, was originally a 4-part canon or round written by Antonio Salieri from Canons for Unaccompanied Voices. Loosely translated it means come to the choir. The lyrics invite those with difficulty to come to the choir with the promise of happiness and peace. A joyful statement indeed for the happiness that singing together can bring!
