Si Njay, Njay, Njay A joyful exuberant song with an infectious rhythm which can also be performed a cappella with some optional percussion for greater effect.

Weeping is a South African pop song from the band Bright Blue and uses as its chorus the refrain from the Zulu anthem N'kosi Sikeleli Africa (God Bless Africa).

The arrangement is part of the Choral Basics Series ideal for beginner choirs and for choirs in which the male singers are few or at the stage when their voices are changing.
