Munnaeru Vaalibaa (for choir & orchestra)

In 1966, then a teacher at Raffles Institution (RI), S. Jesudassan (b.1930) was asked by the principal to write a song for students to be sung on RI’s Founder’s Day. Similar to Zubir Said’s Semoga Bahagia, the intent was to inspire youth to achieve success, in the context of a then newly independent Singapore. The Ministry of Education’s Music Director, David Lim, who was also Head of Music at RI, decided the following year to adopt Munnaeru Vaalibaa as one of the official community songs taught in every school, a tradition that continues today. Munnaeru Vaalibaa (arr. PHOON YEW TIEN for choir and orchestra) Munnaeru vaalibaa munaeri endrum Thoduvaan noakkuvaai Kann theriyaatha Kaari rulil Olirum vinmeenae Thanimaiyaalae payantha naadugal Irulil oli pera unnai naadum Mael noakku vaaliba endrum munnaeri Thoduvaan noakkuvaai thoduvaan noakkuvai Semoga Bahagia Come forward youths! Let us progress! Let us reach out for the sky. You are the sparkling star that shines in the dark. Nations seek your guidance when in trouble. So, aim high and progress in life. You will reach the skies. Recorded live at the Esplanade Concert Hall, Singapore, on 18 Aug 2018, as part of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra's National Day Concert 2018.
