Sing my soul, sing my heart. Sing for peace, sing for joy.                    There is so much love here, yes! Kuimba Nafsi Yangu is a celebratory song derived from common Swahili phrases for joy. Intended as a concert opener, this spirited piece is pure energy from start to finish. The piano and djembes drive the momentum forward while the choir sings in call and response. Each section gets a chance to shine, all while building with anticipation to the final note and stomp. Accents/articulations, vocal inflections, and three part chords call for vocal flexibility, rhythmic intensity, and movement from the singers. If desired, mm. 3 and 4 may serve as a vamp, while the performers enter from around the auditorium to take the stage.PronunciationKuimba nafsi yangu,                                                    [Koo-eehm-bah nahf-see yahn-goo,]                                Kuimba moyo wangu.                                                   [Koo-eehm-bah moh-yoh wahn-goo.]                               Kuimba kwa amani,                                                     [Koo-eehm-bah kwah ah-mah-nee,]                                 kuimba kwa furaha.                                                     [Koo-eehm-bah kwah foo-rah-ha.]                                     Sana upendo, sana mpenzi wangu.                                      [Sah-nah oo-pehn-doh, sah-nah mmpehn-zee-wahn-goo.]             Na wewe.
