:Kum Ba Yah
This is a three-part arrangement (with all parts written in the treble clef) of the familiar spiritual promulgated worldwide primarily by Boy and Girl Scouts singing it around the campfire. Kum Ba Yah originated in the lowlands of South Carolina. The title is from the Gullah language spoken by African-American slaves, and means Come By Here. The melody is of African origin.
