From This Day Forward SSAA and piano

Words and Music by

Judy Small

Arranged by

Diane Benjamin

Here we stand before our family and friends.

It’s an age-‐old ritual that never ends.

Here we stand to make the bows that bind our lives,

To join our hands and hearts

And we begin with just one line:

From this day forward.

Here we stand so full of tenderness and strong,

To tell the world that this is where we both belong.

Not to but with each other,

Hand in hand and hearts aligned,

And we change the lives we’re living with one simple line:


From this day forward I will be right at your side,

To be there at the ebb and flow of every tide.

I will be there to be your comfort and your guide,


Here we stand to face a future of our own,

To build our life together brick by brick and stone by stone.

We understand that life is what we make it now.

We’ll build it on our love and just these simple vows:


And the commitment that we make today Is not a one day wonder.

Every day we’ll breathe the promises that bind us here and now.

What we join today in love, there’s no one else can tear asunder.

We’ll commit ourselves to working on this love of ours,


Here we stand before our family and friends.

It’s an age-‐old ritual that never ends,

Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday dedicated to celebrating the best in people of African descent and their cultures. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday and does not supplant Christmas. Kwanzaa begins the day after Christmas and ends on New Year’s Day.

The word “Kwanzaa” [KWAHN - zaa] is from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza,” which means first fruits. Enslaved Africans came from many different peoples and spoke many different languages. African Americans are a varied people with ancestry that includes Native

American, Caribbean and South American. Kwanzaa is an outgrowth of many different customs, joined with ancient African tribal practices and intertwined with synthesized American customs, that reconstruct our national history and culture. Kwanzaa was first celebrated on December 26, 1966, in Los Angeles, by Dr. Maulana

Karenga, his family and friends. Karenga organized ancient wisdom based on six criteria of a people--history, mythology, creativity, social structure, political organization, and economics--into this African American holiday. The core principles of Kwanzaa, the Nguzo Saba [nn-GOO-zoh SAH-bah] (the Seven Principles), which Karenga

expressed in Swahili, a language of East Africa, are:

1. UMOJA (Unity) [oo - MOH -jah] : To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.

2. KUJICHAGULIA (Self-determination) [koo - jee - chah - goo - LEE - ah] : To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves instead of being defined, named, created for and spoken for by others.

3. UJIMA (Collective Work and Responsibility) [oo - JEE - mah] : To build and maintain our community together and make our sisters’ and brothers’ problems our problems and to solve them together.

4. UJAMAA (Cooperative Economics) [oo - jah - MAH - (ah)] : To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.

5. NIA (Purpose) [NEE - ah] : To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

6. KUUMBA (Creativity) [koo - OOM - bah] : To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

7. IMANI (Faith) [ee - MAH - nee] : To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our leaders, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

HARAMBEE! [Hah - rahm - BEH] : The call to unity and collective work/struggle--to pull together. It is always said in sets of seven to honor and to recall the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

The Rose Arbor

SSAA, oboe and piano

Words by

Susan Kunhardt

Music by

Diane Benjamin

I sit with you in the rose arbor, our temple.

The whimsical shapes dark against the light of the moon.

A few remaining crickets are chirping.

The air is so damp and a little bit chilly.



There’s mist down by the blueberries,

Offering a glow to the air.

Puppy is lying at a shadow’s edge.

I can barely make her out.



There’s a hint of sweetness,

A faint smell of the sweet earth.

May I quote you and say,

“It’s a magical world.”?

Welcome the Stranger

SSA and piano

Words and Music by

Ruth Huber

New faces, changing times

Old places left behind

The rivers rise, they ebb and flow

New patterns shifting lines

Releasing what was mine,

I hear the wind begin to blow

Because I know the darkness is behind me

Because I see the power of the dawn,

I feel the strength of you beside me

I welcome the stranger in; I welcome the stranger in.

And so I won’t be afraid to grow

Won’t be afraid to let my love show,

Won’t be afraid to live

Never be afraid to let my heart give.

Women Singing in Winter

SSA a cappella

Words and Music by

Kent Carlson

First the setting: cold and quiet. Next the players: you and I,

Resilient goddess and resilient goddess.

Women singing in Winter. Warm by a fire, just singing with k.d.

sipping Sister Gin in a Rubyfruit Jungle.

Reconteuse, skin like vellum, earthy, bold

just like Women singing, Singing in Winter.

Now the reason why: we just celebrate

the simple fact of being together in the Winter. This is our song: the song of Women singing,

Singing in Winter.
