    Nice to see I'm not the only person obsessing over this choir...

    Song one
    Phindukhulume Moya oyiNgcwele
    (Speak once again Holy Spirt)
    Phindukhulume Nkosiyam
    (Speak once again my Lord) x2
    Ngobazonkizono ebendizenza
    (Because all the sins I committed...)
    Namhla zizobasebusweniBakho
    (Today will be before Your face)
    Phindukhulume Thixondimamele (Thetanami Nkosi)
    (Speak once again God, I'm listening) (speak to me God)
    Phindukhulume Nkosiyam
    (Speak once again my Lord) x2
    Song two
    Ndiza, ndiza, ndiza, ndi-za, ndi-za (ndiza, ndiza ndiza, ndiza Moya, ndikuphathelitliziyo yam, uzuyenze msulwa yona)
    I come, I come, I come, I come, I come (I come, I come, I come, I come Spirit. I bring you my heart, that you may make it pure)
    The last one is another South African Language called "Sesotho", the first song is isiZulu, the second is "isiXhosa". Hopefully a seSotho speaking person can translate the last one for you brother.

      Hi Calvin. I don't suppose that you'd be able to write the text for all the solo parts, at least in the first two parts? I know it's a lot to ask, but I genuinely believe that the kids at my new school would love to try the song out, but may not get around to learning all three parts. We are a regular elementary school (as opposed to an arts specialist school), but I'm trying to expose the kids to beautiful world music. Hope you can help!

    • @BarongoCalvine
      @BarongoCalvine 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      sorry for the late response, I will try the much i can, for the first part of the song before they get to song two it is quite direct (I am not a music teacher nor I am I from South Africa - I am from Kenya and a lover of good music), let m etry break it an dpost it here in a few days then you will tell me if it will help! regards and thank you @Cellofellow

    • @longhairedphreak

    The choir changed since 2012, most of the students were white those years. Nowadays the choir is more equally mixed between black and white students.
    Great to see that evolution.
    The Stellenbosch University Choir is by far my favorite choir!

    i love the fact the guy in the middle who can't really dance & his dance moves are kinda awkward, but he is placed right in front & in the center.. they didnt even try to hide him.this shows how much love they have towards each other & they dont discriminate.. Much love from your fan in Malaysia ❤

      @RiesenWuschel 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah... and did you see that one black haired dude in the middle in the dance part? XD he looked positively awkward. Showed it to my boyfriend and his guilty face made my day.

    • @antm64
      @antm64 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I was a special ed teacher for a number of years...that young man is blind. Much of our balance depends on sight referencing. His entire body posture and positioning is typical of someone who has been blind since very early childhood, more probably from birth. Notice that he is spacial referencing, touching shoulders, to the man on his left. This cues him to stay in line. He would be unsafe on a riser.

    • @RiesenWuschel
      @RiesenWuschel 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Martie Rollin I don't know which guy you were watching, but I was watching the guy who was struggling to stay in rhythm, turning before everybody else and hopping up and down like an infant girl in his desperate attempt to seem as rhythmically stable as his neighbours- which he did not touch.
      On top of that: being blind does not mean that you can't hold a rhythm or remember some dance moves that are being done on the spot. I even know a guy who went to classic dance school - he just needed quiet instructions on where to lead the lady. This guy is just rhythmically awkward and having been in a music school for 10 years I can guarantee you, I can tell that from afar :p

    • @longhairedphreak
      @longhairedphreak 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +RiesenWuschel I don't normally comment on TH-cam, but I have to agree with +Martie Rollin - it's obvious that the young man (just behind and to the right of the djembe player, 2nd from the front row group of girls, and bouncing more than the other singers) is blind, given certain visible features around his eyes. True, his movements aren't necessarily in sync with the rest of the choir, but he is actually in time with the song, and in fact, he starts and stops at the same time as the others (except for just before the end) - your ten years of music school should have helped you spot that. As you mentioned, being blind does not mean that you can't hold a rhythm. That said, it's not fair to compare him with a blind, classically-trained dancer, who will have dedicated years training in specialised movements, whereas he is a blind singer, who may not have spent much time learning how to dance whilst singing at the top of his lungs at the same time. It would be like asking the blind dancer to perform that same song whilst dancing! Unless he happens to be a great singer, he'd probably look great, but not sound as good as the blind choir member.
