Kwanzaa Choral Sheet Music

Teachers return most often to Sally K. Albrecht's Furaha! series, available in both 3-part mixed and 2-part voicings, which combines joy and cultural specificity through Swahili text. Dave Perry's Dansi Na Kuimba (Dance and Sing) is equally popular in multiple voicings, offering rhythmic energy and ensemble accessibility. Lois Brownsey and Marti Lunn Lantz's Harambee: A Song for Kwanzaa rounds out the core repertoire that schools trust year after year.

Sally K. Albrecht is a prolific choral composer with over 600 publications to her name and a three-decade career directing school choral programs. Her Furaha! series dominates this collection because she understands how to write music that moves young singers both literally and emotionally, a strength recognized by the ASCAP Special Music Award annually since 1987.

Dave Perry's Dansi Na Kuimba brings dance and song together in a way that feels natural to singers and audiences alike. His work here reflects a gift for writing multicultural repertoire that doesn't sacrifice musicality for accessibility.

Lois Brownsey and Marti Lunn Lantz have spent years as a composing partnership creating choral works for school and church choirs. Their Harambee: A Song for Kwanzaa shows their strength in writing pieces that honor cultural traditions while remaining performable by developing singers across multiple voicings.
