I wrote my paper for SASRIM on The Stylistics of South African Indigenous Choral Music and I can say that after listening to this piece attentively I will continue to strive in getting in communication with Dr. Michael Barrett
My school choir was invited to this concert and we were all so inspired and motivated to work harder and we did exeptionally in all competions.💖 THANK YOU

We did this song for FLACDA and it never failed to make my heart soar. Under the context of this song, it connected me to the music in a way I have never felt before in other pieces I've sang. I loved every moment singing this song with everyone else and I give my thanks to Barrett for helping us feel for the song and bringing it all together.
