fangirl forever: Songs Mrs Kana Taught Us

Here are some of the most unforgettable songs Mrs Kana taught us waaay back and which I can still hear in my mind, us girls in the Big Hall, singing along as she played the piano and prodded us into pronouncing the words properly, keep the correct rhythm and timing, whilst hitting those high notes accurately!



I'll start with one of my absolute favourites viz Beatitudes, which I seldom heard after leaving SAC, but the melody was etched in my mind and I love to play it on the piano too.
This is by The Dameans:

The Song of Ruth: Wherever You Go, by monks of the Western Priory:

This is an all-time favourite song which lifts me up every time I feel down viz Thank You, Lord and which SAC girls sing WONDERFULLY:

He (God) in 3/4 time is what Mrs Kana taught us and here's the link to the youtube vid. I think SAC girls sing this much more beautifully than the guy in the vid, though. ;)

Author of Beauty is another one of those songs which I seldom heard after leaving SAC, but will always remember it for its haunting melody and rhythm:

Mrs Kana was ambitious indeed....we were taught Latin hymns as well...two of which I remember very clearly.

Panis Angelicus, here performed by Dame Kiri Te Kanewa:

Ave Verum Corpus:

 

Now for a TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE Hawaiian number, complete with dance steps which EVERY SAC girl remembers most fondly...presenting The Hukilau Song!

Pokarekare Ana, a Maori song was another hot favourite:

Dahil Sayo, a Philipino love song...le sigh...here performed by The Lettermen...remember them? ;)

And of course, everyone knows this one about Arithmetic and a worm...it's quite soft though, so please turn the volume up:

And the Sesame Street version which is has the adorablest Inch Worm ever!

Hope you all enjoyed them!
