Honor Choir Music

Choir Members:

Here are some examples of your music by other singers. Please, please, please practice your parts! You will have a much better experience on Saturday if you are prepared and part of that is memorizing your music.

Chariot's Comin'! (Swing Low, Sweet Chariot)
Traditional Spiritual

Inscription of Hope
Z. Randall Stroope

About the text...

"The Holocaust is a stunning reminder of the tragic results of prejudice and hate toward other people. But it is also a reminder that hope held firm will eventually reign victorious over the greatest of odds. The following words were inscribed on the walls of a cellar in Cologne, Germany, where Jews were hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Hope was all they had to hold on to; hope was their only bridge to a brighter tomorrow." (taken from the octavo)

Jay Althouse

Oye la musica de la vida.
Oy-eh lah moo-see-kah deh lah vee-dah.

(Hear the life in the song.)

Porque la musica es el ritmo,
