@@elijahsanford9645 damn, didn’t think I’d find another person auditioning for Iowa Allstate

Yep

Fr, okay not mad tho

The title is derived from the words "tutti", which means "all" in Italian, and Tarana, which is kind of like Hindi scat, so the language is is kind of like Hindi gibberish.

@@aidanmarquez Hi I know I’m kinda late to this comment, but some parts sounds as if they’re singing Kanakol which is an Indian form of counting. For example, English 1 e + a is Ta Ka Di Mi, and there are some parts where you can kinda hears this

This is a late reply, but my college choir is performing this piece right now and watched an guide by the composer. The words are nonsense syllables meant to sound like a percussion instrument that they have in India. Essentially how we make cat or dog noises, it's the equivalent of that but of the Indian people to that percussion instrument. It has no meaning, but is very efficient when spoken or sung fast.

it’s a hindi and indian derivative but they aren’t actual words, they’re syllables meant to imitate percussion traditional to india.
