Kô, lat ons sing - 8:59 ・About The Composition・ Kô, lat ons sing (Come, let us sing) Poems by Adam Small with music by Hans Roosenschoon "In 1993 I was commissioned by the Foundation for the Creative Arts to write a work for the 21st anniversary of the Tygerberg Children's Choir (TCC). The result was Kô, lat ons sing, a 12 minute long cycle in three movements for a cappella equal voices, based on satirical poetry by the eminent South African poet Adam Small. The first movement, 'Ons het 'n hys gebou' (We built a house), is loaded with irony, and looks at the transience of building and untimely ruins. Sounds of Township and that of well known Ladysmith Black Mambazo form part of the musical building blocks that are cast in a contemporary musical idiom. The second movement, 'O, waar is Moses' (Oh, where is Moses), voices the search and longing for a leader in a kind of antique style, whilst the last movement, 'Kô, lat ons sing', suggests the character of a Cape 'moppie' (a typical Cape Malay song), the choir imitating the sounds of stringed instruments such as guitar and banjo. What the listener discovers by the end of the work, apart from the striking irony captured in the words of the poet, is that all three movements are in fact a musical flight of the very moving anthem, 'Nkosi sikelel' i Afrika'. The premiere, conducted by Hendrik D Loock, took place in the presence of the poet on 18 June 1993 in the Endler Hall, Stellenbosch, where the work was greeted by a standing ovasion. In addition to many performances locally, the work was also successfully performed in Basel, Luzern, Milan, Budapest, Prague and in Vienna where the TCC was the over-all winner of the festival 'Jugend und Musik'. For the prize winners concert the judges requested the choir to sing the complete Kô, lat ons sing cycle. Apart from radio broadcasts and TV coverage, a CD by jNs Musiek with the title Kô, lat ons sing was released commercially in 1993, and the TCC also performed the work during their 1994 season."
