What better way to discover the world than to sing songs that have captivated the imaginations of children across the continents. In this amazing collection of songs children love to sing, Karen Howard truly opens the door to encountering songs from diverse cultures and experiences, on themes from family, animals, flowers, food, and more. The repertoire in First Steps in Global Music is particularly accessible for teachers and children wishing to discover these great songs. Organized by geographical region, Howard provides the context and guidance—including references to recordings—for these songs to come alive. She further organizes the songs based on First Steps activity categories: Fragment Singing, Simple Songs, Movement for Form and Expression, Movement with the Beat, and Songtales. Take a look, have a listen, and see what captures your attention—and what might capture the imaginations of the children in your life! Featuring music from: Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe) Oceania (Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand) Asia (China, Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia) Middle East (Israel and Lebanon) North America (Quebec, Guatemala, Mexico, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti)  South America (Brazil, Peru, Chile)  Europe (Lithuania, Bulgaria, Poland, Republic of Georgia) For more information and resources about global music, visit giamusic.com/firststepsglobal. Special message: Since the summer of 2019, it has come to the attention of GIA editors that some of the American folk songs in the First Steps in Music series and other publications have racist histories. GIA is committed to providing resources that uphold the highest possible values for children and for our classrooms. We are excited about the efforts of the Feierabend Association for Music Education’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee to develop standards through which repertoire should be evaluated. We intend to revise our publications based on those standards at the earliest possible opportunity. Learn more at giamusic.com/dei.

We do not believe that it is any longer possible to claim membership of the holy catholic Church and refuse to sing songs from repertoires other than those of the mission-sending churches in the North. And, if at the same time, the Church does not rehearse and sing new songs, it will breed disciples who are unfit for heaven, where the new song is an eternal feature. —Wild Goose Worship GroupOne Is the Body, like many collections by the Wild Goose Worship Group of the Iona Community, is deliberately eclectic and brings to us music from around the world. Blessed Be God is a lively song of praise from Pakistan, while Je Lourai l'Eternel (I'll Praise God Eternal) is a beautifully simple piece from France. Mexico, El Salvador, Wales, Hawaii, Germany, Brazil, South Africa, Nepal, and the Netherlands are also represented here in texts and tunes. Sizohamba (We Will Walk with God) is a particularly fun and infectious piece from South Africa. With its delightful four-part harmony, it makes a wonderful recessional song in Xhosa or in English. Several new pieces by John Bell are included in this collection, including Keep Me Lord and the title song. John also contributes a wonderful new inclusive text, Women and Men as God Intended, to the popular tune KOMT NU MET ZANG, usually sung with the text What Is This Place..
