K-1 & 1st Grade Magnet -- "Jambo Bwana"

Ms.Jane's and Ms. Sae-tang's classes -- here is our other song. Once again our arrangement will be very similar to this recording so listen to how they make each time through the piece sound a little different. The word we use in music is variation.

Jambo Bwana

Kiswahili song from East Africa

Jambo

Jambo bwana

Habari gani?

Mzuri sana

Wageni

Wakaribishwa

Kenya yetu

Hakuna matata (4x)

Jambo bwana  -  hakuna matata...

Habari gani?  -  hakuna matata...

Mzuri sana  -  hakuna matata...

Wakaribishwa  -  hakuna matata...

Kenya yetu  -  hakuna matata...

Jambo bwana  -  hakuna matata...

Habari gani?  -  hakuna matata...

Mzuri sana  -  hakuna matata...

Hakuna matata  -  hakuna matata!

K-1 & 1st Grade Magnet - "North Winds Blow"

Hi Ms. Jane's and Ms. Sae-tang's classes. We're pairing your classes this year and this song is one we haven't tried before. Check out the percussion arrangement on the Tas, Tee-tees and rests. I'd like to use something like it in the show.

NORTH WINDS BLOW

North winds blow.

Breezes chill the air.

Skies are grey.

Leaves are ev’rywhere.

Birds now leave their summer nest

Bears all take their winter rest

North winds blow.

So there will be snow.

Birds now leave their summer nest

Bears all take their winter rest

North winds blow.

So there will be snow.

North winds blow.

Breezes chill the air.

Skies are grey.

Leaves are ev’rywhere.

Snowflakes fall on mountain tops.

When winter temperature drops.

North winds blow.

So there will be snow.

People put up Christmas trees.

Decorate them with candies.

North winds blow.

So there will be snow.

4th Grade Magnet - "Peace Round/Shalom Chaveirim"

Hi again, Mr. Anderson's and Ms. Lopez's classes -- Here is your other song, technically your other two songs. As we have seen in class each of these songs can be sung as a canon and both can be sung as partner songs. Try singing along with the recording and you'll see what I mean.

Peace Round
Traditional/Words by Jean Ritchie

What a goodly thing,
If the children of the world
Could live together
In-- peace.


Shalom Chaveirim
Traditional

Shalom chaveirim, shalom chaveirim,
Shalom, shalom.
L'hitraot, l'hitraot,
Shalom, shalom.

4th Grade Magnet - "Il Est Né"

Ms. Lopez's and Mr. Anderson's classes -- here is the first of two songs we will be performing for the holiday show on December 13. It is in French, (C'est vrai!) but as you will see many of the phrases repeat.

Il Est Né

Traditional French Carol

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes.

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Chantons tous son avenement!

Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,

Nous le promettaient les Prophetes;

Depuis plus de quatre mille ans,

Nous attendions cet heureux temps.

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes.

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Chantons tous son avenement!

Qu'il est beau. qu'il est charmant,

Ques ses gracers song parfaites!

Qu'il est beau. qu'il est charmant,

Qu'il est doux le divin enfant!

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Jouez, hautbois, resonnez, musettes.

Il est ne, le divin enfant,

Chantons tous son avenement!

5th Grade Magnet - "Huron Carol" - Pronunciation

Mr. Earl's and Ms. Epstein's classes -- here's a pronunciation track that should help you with the Wendat.

5th Grade Magnet - "Huron Carol"

Mr. Earl's and Ms. Epstein's classes -- here's our other song, "Huron Carol." There are three verses, one of which is in the native language, Wendat. This will present some challenges, but with a little less than a month to go, I think you can handle it.

Peace on earth has come

5th Grade Magnet - "Zum Gali Gali"

Mr.Earl's and Ms. Epstein's classes -- here's one of the two songs we'll be singing for the holiday show on December 13 -- "Zum Gali Gali" -- in an arrangement very similar to the one we will be using. This recording does not include the English verse but I am betting you can figure out how that fits the music.

ZUM GALI GALI

(refrain)

Zum gali gali gali

Zum gali gali

Zum gali gali gali

Zum gali gali

Hechalutz le ‘man avodah;

Avodah le ‘man hechalutz;

Avodah le ‘man hechalutz;

Hechalutz le ‘man avodah.

(refrain)

Hechalutz le ‘man ha’ b’tu lah

Ha’ b’tu lah le man hechalutz

Ha’ a mim le ‘man ha’ shalom;

Ha’ shalom le ‘man ha’ a mim.

(refrain)

We are building, building a land;

Out of rock and desert and sand;

Men and women labor in pride;

We are working side by side.
