The first time I heard this song I just fell in love with it!
It only bounces back and forth between 3 chords: G C D D
. . .. . . a repetitive huapango pattern, yet so powerful in it's creativity!!!!
OK. .. in this video the musicians choose a different key,
but the composer, Donna Pena, does use the GCDD chord pattern. . .
Well, guess what?
The St. Gabriel's Children's choir, led by yours truly,
will be leading this very song at the choir festival!
The text to this wonderful piece of music is The Litany of Loretto.

What a wonderful song for the children to sing
during the month of October!
Even more, the young people have added
a simple counter-point for the 2nd and 3rd verses.
. . . Yes, it is amazing what one can do with 3 chords!!!
