Kum Ba Yah

For mixed voices with optional children's choir, this Joel Raney setting begins with the simple statement, 'someone's prayin', Lord, come by here. ' African rhythms take over with 'someone's shoutin'' followed by a lush 4-part treatment of 'someone's cryin'. ' Caribbean rhythms flavor the 'someone's singin'' verse developing into an exciting gospel, hand-clapping high point before settling back to a final prayerful statement of 'kum ba yah. ' The rhythm packet contains parts for: keyboard, acoustic guitar and percussion (triangle, wind chimes, shaker, conga).
