Mike Brewer : Three Songs From Asia Mike Brewer's Choral World Tour brings together traditional songs from around the world in exciting a cappella arrangements that will both challenge and stimulate your choir. Each piece is accompanied by a translation and pronunciation guide. In this collection, feel the warmth of a Maori love song, experience intricate pentatonic part-song from China, and incorporate Bengalese percussion into your performance. Songlist: Pokarekare, Holday danaa, Molihua Various Arrangers : Music from Mongolia The exuberant arrangement of an Eastern Inner Mongolian folk song "Dorven Dalai' exhorts everyone from the Four Seas (the "four corners of the earth" or all nations) to fill their wine bowls with the best of wine, to rejoice and sing and enjoy this moment of happiness together. "Naiman Sharag" - Mongolian songs often praise horses, real and legendary, reflecting the close relationship between horses and humans. A 13th century chronicle refers to the eight chestnut horses of Chinggis Khan, and they have thus become a symbol of national identity which embodies the Mongol's love for their native language and culture. Indigenous Mongolian musical rhythms are often patterned after the rhythm of a running horse. Such rhythms represent one of the major ethnic features of Mongolian music, and can be found throughout this piece. "Zeregleent Gobi" was written for the Inner Mongolian Youth Chorus Troupe and "Bless Us, O God" is an a cappella setting of a Mongolian prayer. Songlist: Dorven Dalai (The Four Seas), Naiman Sharag (Eight Chestnut Horses), Zeregleent Gobi (Mirage on the Gobi Desert), Bless Us, O God |

Here are two traditional folk songs from across the Malay Archipelago, the first from Indonesia, and the second from the eastern state of Terengganu. These songs are fun and rhythmic and a wonderful introduction to this style. Detailed notes from the arranger along with clear pronunciation guides are included with the music.
Arranger: Geneviene Wong | Country: Malayasia
Perform this pair of authentic Asian folk songs separately or as a world music set. Singers will embrace imitating percussion instruments in the Chinese iFlower Drum Song,” and adore echoing the lyrical pentatonic tune of iHigh Green Mountain” from Taiwan. Evolving ostinatos create the sense of accompaniment within the context of both a cappella settings. Pronunciation guides are included, making it easy to sing in the original language, in English, or a combination of both.
Arranger: Ruth Morris Gray | Country: Asia
