The composition for eleven homogeneous choirs was written between 1989 and 2005. These pieces, easy to sing but written in the present-day musical idiom, can be performed by either children?s or female choirs. All the eleven pieces are short, 2-3 minutes in duration, forming a unified composition, but it is important that the varying characters, which reflect the text, should always be recognizable. The pieces may be sung separately or in any desired grouping.

Jamaica is an island in the Caribbean. In 1494 it was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who used it as private property until 1509. After some skirmishes it fell under British rule and the sugar trade on the island flourished. After the abolition of slavery in 1834 it was only granted Home Rule in 1944, but it remained a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Whereas the export of cane sugar used to be Jamaica’s main export product for many years, nowadays music has taken over this role. At first American music used to be very popular on the island. Later, however, Jamaican musicians started to experiment and thus in the end created their ownmusical style called Reggae. Well-known Reggae musicians are Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. The most important instruments used in Reggae are the bass and the drums. Together they form the base for the style: the riddim. A bass drum accent on the second and fourth beat are characteristic of a typically reggae drum beat. To this syncopic patterns are often added. The rhythm guitarist plays chords in a characteristic Reggae rhythm, not on, but between the beats. Jamaica is een eiland in het Caribisch-gebied. Het werd in 1494 ontdekt door Christoffel Columbus, die het tot 1509 als privé-eiland gebruikte. Na enige schermutselingen viel het onder Britse heerschappij en bloeide de suikerhandel.Na afschaffing van de slavernij in 1834 kreeg het uiteindelijk pas in 1944 volledig zelfbestuur. Jamaica is lid van het Britse Gemenebest. Jaren na de suikerexport is op dit moment de muziek misschien wel het bekendsteexportproduct. Eerst was de Amerikaanse muziek erg populair op het eiland. Later begonnen de Jamaicaanse muzikanten zelf te experimenteren en ontstond uiteindelijk de Reggae. Bekende reggea artiesten zijn Bob Marleyen Peter Tosh. De belangrijkste instrumenten bij reggae zijn de bas en de drums. Samen leggen zij de basis voor de stijl neer. de riddim. Een bassdrum-accent op de tweede en de vierde tel, in plaats van de eerste enderde, zijn kenmerkend voor een typisch reggae-drumritme. Dit wordt vaak aangevuld met syncopische patronen. De slag-gitarist speelt de akkoorden in de kenmerkende reggaeslag, niet op maar tussen de tellen.
