Our aim was to capture a serious English Boys choir poise while making the most of the poems playful spookiness, so we elicited help from the men of the chorus to try and 'frighten' the women singing.

English Translation:
1- Slavery
I come from Africa, the land of my father.
From the French, Hispanic and English ships,
I landed in the Americas, the unfamiliar land.
This is Haiti, this is my story.
I come from Africa with my strong religion,
With banbous, drums, with all my soul.
Right when I debarked, the villains muted me.
They swore a thousand times they would convert me.
They did all they could to make me lose my mind,
To forget my ancestors who are still in Africa.
Thus I cut the chords with words of Liberty,
Words of Equality, words of Dignity.
I spent three hundred years under the chains of slavery;
Night and day I struggled with work,
Carrying loads on my head, loads on my shoulders,
for others to rejoice in the metropolitan lands.

Mister Sandman (choral arrangement)
The 50s song Mister Sandman by Pat Ballard, which I arranged, on request, for our local choir. After a few concerts, I thought it would also be fun to sing it all myself (multitracking), so here it is.

But sea and mountains
are all alike
and once again
the blood in my heart
urges me on to dare the wave
that calls out to me
The impulse of my heart
presses me again
to visit once more
some new lands
and set in search of the Wholly Other
start on yet another voyage
across more distant seas ...
