"Eneza upendo uendako, umoja ni upendo" translates to "Spread love everywhere you go, unity is love." This piece celebrates the hopeful sentiments of unity and love through both Swahili and English lyrics that can be used throughout the year or to celebrate the Kwanzaa principle of Umoja (unity). Djembe and soft metal percussion add flair, and singers can also get in on the fun with some light body percussion.

Eneza Upendo

SSAB Octavo or SSA, opt. Baritone

In a rollicking 6/8 meter, this original song sings like a sea shanty and takes the listener on a journey of coming back to oneself. Plenty of unison and accessible harmonies, an optional tenor part, and a unison whistling section make this uplifting selection easy to learn and fun to sing.

Bring Me Back to My Heart

TB Octavo or T(T)B

Empower your young singers with the universal truth that love, respect and common ground are all we need to turn the world around! Written in collaboration with songwriting workshop participants, this youthful call to action with a funky groove that doesn't stop can be sung in unison throughout or with a few sections of optional harmony added.

All You Need

Unison/Two-Part Octavo

Series

A perfect choice for younger choirs, this bluesy, hip original concert pop selection has a positive and inspirational text about moving on through the challenges of life. A large portion of the setting is unison, and the harmonies, when they do enter, are engaging, pattern-based, and very easy to learn and hold.

I Just Keep Groovin'

Two-Part Octavo

A charming selection for developing choirs, this work blends English and French text with a gentle waltz, and is mostly in unison with just a few echoes and one moment of optional divisi. Melodic, lyrical, and accessible, this piece invites singers and audiences alike into a world of elegance and joy.

Bonjour, Paris

The metaphor embraced by the young poets that collaborated on this piece is that of a flame in all of us that, when encouraged, keeps dancing and giving others hope. The simple melody will give young choirs the opportunity to work on dynamics and expression to share this truly special message.

Dance Little Flame

SA Octavo or Two-Part

Subtitled Standing Tall, this original work combines Swahili and English phrases about standing with hope, strength, acceptance, and a positive spirit - all in an accessible world music style. Celebrating ten years as a concert and festival favorite, this anniversary edition matches the original edition in each voicing, but now with a larger portion of the royalties going to the Foundation for Small Voices.

Kusimama

SATB Octavo

"Every time I try to make a difference in the world, I wonder if I'm on. Tell me I am not alone." Upbeat, and able to be performed in a contemporary a cappella style or with the notated piano accompaniment, this pop-style concert work is full of rhythm and energy. Optional parts for djembe and shaker are available as a download on the publisher's website.

Every Time

SATB Octavo  opt. Piano Accompaniment

Written with Young Voices Toronto, this song calls for us to stand up, speak up, and stand for justice. A mid-tempo ballad that grows in the bridge, with gentle syncopation. Includes a QR code to a video demonstrating sign language for the song.

I Cannot Be Silent

SSA Octavo

Voice Subcategory

Kindergartners cut to the essence of music when they asked the composer to write "Simplicity, beauty, love, and music" as the message they want to convey to the world. Here is a poignant song for your youngest singers!

There Is Hope in Me

Unison Octavo

This selection was written in a student workshop designed to give all young people a voice, giving them a chance to express their feelings and write their own story. Powerful!

Write My Own Story

"Give us hope and we'll show you the way." This popular piece is celebrating its 20th anniversary with this edition. Identical in each voicing to the original editions - but now, more of the royalties are going to the Foundation for Small Voices. A great song supporting an important cause!

Give Us Hope

With a text geared toward upholding the idea that we are able to find and experience peace and joy within the context of our world, this inspirational original song is rhythmic, engaging, and full of love. Add the optional djembe and shaker to enhance the rhythm and energy of the piece.

In My World

SA Octavo or SSA

Expressing a powerful message of hope for a better world, this dynamic piece strikes a universal chord for all to hear! The quiet and subdued opening gradually builds to a dramatic musical statement using hand claps and short solos for a climactic ending. "Give us hope and we'll show you the way."

This rhythmically vibrant composition is alive with text painting, as dynamics and textures rise, ripple, and fall like waves. Every measure mirrors the ebb and flow of human experience. The added percussion for suspended cymbal and low drum enhances the piano accompaniment as it supports the vocal lines.
