This short, ethereal-sounding chant is arranged here for SATB. It starts with a brief introduction, then the four vocal parts sing the main melody and counter-melody in pairs, to form a doubled round. The melodies are different lengths, so as the round progresses, the related patterns shift and merge to create a strangely hypnotic, echoey effect. The whole song lasts for about two minutes. Â
The short, repeated phrases make it easy to learn and quick to teach, so it is ideal for warming-up, practice, or performance. The occasional use of a rain-stick and descending plinks of a sansula or kalimba can enhance the atmosphere of this enchanting song.
