If you are looking for a good
multi-cultural piece, you've found it. Victor Bobetsky has arranged
this piece for a quick learning experience with several unison and
two-part passages. Being a Guyanese folk song and dance, it is up
tempo & rhythmic with mild syncopation.
This lively folksong from Guyana
is associated with a children's game involving creative movement. Dr.
Victor Bobetsky, Director of the Hunter College Teacher Education
Program in Music, and the arranger for Limba, Limba Sally,
shared the following information he learned from Gillian
Richards-Greaves, one of his students, who grew up in Guyana:
Children playing this song/game create their own verses and dance
movements that describe their unique personality or physical
characteristics. For example, a tall child might sing, "No matter you
see me tall, so" while describing his/her tallness through dance
movements. Another child might sing, "No matter you see me proud, so"
while describing his/her feelings through dance movements. In this
arrangement of the song, the adjectives, "tall" and "short" are used.
Check the
three-part variable voicing chart to see the various voicings with
which it may be used.
When this arrangement is
performed by early adolescent all-male groups, Parts I & II may be
sung by Boy Trebles, and Part III by the Cambiatas.
When sung by older adolescent all-male groups, Part I is sung by
the changed-voice Tenors or Adolescent Baritones
(8va lower), Part II by Adolescent Baritones or
Basses (8va lower), and Part III by Boy Trebles
and/or Cambiatas (actual pitch).
