13. Siyahamba

South Africa:Traditional
ARR. TRACY McDONNELL

St. Camillus music ministers have been known to refer to this multilingual setting of the popular Freedom chant as our "theme" song! Translating as We are marching in the light of God, the languages represented here include English, Spanish, French and Swahili – 4 of our community’s more widely spoken – as well as the original Zulu. We only wish we’d had time and space to include some of the other languages in which we have come to enjoy singing Siyahamba, which include Arabic, Italian, Bangla, and, most recently, Korean! Indeed , we have found that no matter the language, this inspired song truly makes manifest God’s marvelous light.

14. Postlude: Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3

Germany: Johann Sebastian Bach

Again featuring Andrea Heilmann on flute, this masterpiece from the great 18th century German composer seemed an appropriate conclusion to our first recording; Bach inscribed all of his sacred compositions with the Latin phrase, Soli Deo Gloria – that is, to God alone be the glory.
