Stilgebed

R 30.00

Stilgebed is sung in Afrikaans. Afrikaans is one of the 11 official languages spoken in South Africa. Afrikaans is a West Germanic language spoken in South Africa, Namibia and, to a lesser extent, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It evolved from the Dutch vernacular of Holland.

Directly translated the word Stilgebed means “to pray softly”. The sacred text, written by the composer, is a jubilant praise song that is balanced perfectly with the flowing and expressive piano part. This work is perfect for the moderately experienced choir that needs an interesting addition for their competition program, or a reflective piece for any of the sacred celebrations year-round.
