| Description |
This traditional hymn is also known as the hymn of Africa, and is used as part of the National Anthem in some African countries. The title translates to "God Bless Africa." I have set this for three vocal parts, along with some easy percussion, recorder, and ethnic flute. There is also a bass part which can be played on piano or any bass instrument. The language used in this setting is Xhosa. |
