The distinctive repertoire of a cappella luminaries Sweet Honey In The Rock is much sought after. At last here's a songbook that collects 20 songs and arrangements - four each by five of the current members. There are songs of hope ("Young and Positive"), love ("Stay"), protest ("Ella's Song"), contemplation ("Would You Harbor Me?") and many drawn from African ("Wodaabe Nights") and African-American heritage ("Motherless Chil"). Although SHIR is a women's group, the arrangements are scored for SATB (divisi). 190 pages, folio size (9" x 12").

Continuum Continues Sweet Honey's Tradition,
By Carla Kilgore (Fort Wayne, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Continuum: The First Songbook of Sweet Honey in the Rock (Paperback)
Continuum receives high marks for the quality content. It contains 4 songs from each of Sweet Honey in the Rocks five most prolific songwriters. Many of the songs are favorites of mine, and it includes chants, freedom songs, and songs of worship from several of their albums. The book is written in a friendly, easy to use style. I could get together with several of my friends, or a whole choir, and have all the information I would need to perform their music. It also includes information about Sweet Honey's members, which helped me better understand where their music comes from. This book would be extremely helpful as a resource for anyone who works or dabbles in music and wants to promote Sweet Honey's message of love and justice.
