ONE PURCHASE GIVES YOU UNLIMITED COPIES FOR YOUR ENSEMBLE!

 

Available SSAA or TTBB

This made-up language is created to and sung as a means to understand the challenges that are faced with coming to another country.

 

While these words may seem unintelligible and somewhat comical at first glance, they present a deeper meaning about our global community and how we are all united as one. I urge you to read the words and then listen to how these words come together to form a deep meaning.

 

What makes this piece extra special is that the students will a meaningful experience as they begin to learn it, and the audience (if presented well to them) will share that deeper meaning as well.

 

Ahyahmuh sihtihzih, nahyahmuh sihtihzihn.

Ahyahmuh sihtihzih nuhvuhthih swuhld.

Ahyahmuh sihtihzihn, yooahruh sihtihzihn

Wee ahlahr sihtihzih nuhvuhthih swuhld.

Ahyahmuh sihtihzih heeruhmahee prehr

Ahyahmuh sihtihzihn, yooahryh sihtihzihn

Wee ahlahr sihtihzihnz

Naytihv zuhvuhthih szwul dwee shehr,

yoonihfahd sihtihzih zuhvuhthih swuhld.

Heeruhmahee prehr oh sihtihzih zuhvuhthih swuhld.
