Walton Music Inc., Publishes
Nakutakia Siku Njema!
I wrote an SSA composition for my women's choir last year that we took to U.I.L. contest. It got such good reviews that I was urged to seek publication. After a long review process, Nakutakia Siku Njema! was selected by Walton Music Inc., for inclusion in their 2011 new music catalog. This is significant in that their distribution and promotional activities are handled by the Hal Leonard Corporation, the worlds largest music publishing company.
The piece, a light-hearted rhythmic composition set in Swahili, for women's chorus, will be available in the first quarter of 2011. I hope you get a chance to hear it.
