PS22 Chorus "aFriCaN LiOn" by Mr. B

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com

Another original that seems tailor-made for the PS22 Chorus of 2009! The kids give an absolutely ferocious rendition of a song that has lots of personal meaning for me. This is not only one of MY favorites, but I'm proud to say one of the kids' as well. And I think it rates as one of their best performances this year!




AND it's a nice companion piece for their Eye Of The Tiger -- they work well back to back actually! (Adjust your PS22 Chorus playlist accordingly....) ;)

That was a pretty challenging song! But they aced this one too! Thanks for sharing. Good luck to the 2009 singers as they move on. They will have tons of happy memories to cheer them up when things are rough.

i appreciate your acknowledging the difficulty level. their ears astound me that they were able to pick up some of the more dissonant changes so easily and deliver them with accuracy. half steps are not fun with elementary school kids as a rule.... but they nailed it. i'm glad to hear that people are enjoying this.

Besides the music and the children and the teacher, I think what I love the most is the trust and inclusiveness.
