Foreword by the author (from the music collection Haloo ?? - 2007)
In front of you is a new collection of songs for children's and youth choirs. Haloo collection ?? is somewhat similar to the Halooo? collection, released in 2004, only more extensive, with as many as eighty pages and twelve songs.
This edition includes both scores for music pedagogue or accompanist as well as scores for singers. The songs are for the most part light-hearted. The first seven are mostly unanimous, as in some parts of the songs I also signed a second voice, which may or may not be performed. Arrangements of black spiritual songs are also written in this way, which can be performed in one, two or three voices. I arranged these compositions on the initiative of quite a few Slovenian music pedagogues. The last two songs are a bit more difficult and need to be performed as written. The first, Skiing with Vesna, is for three-part youth choir and soloist. Despite the chromatic procedures, the composition is feasible, but above all it requires the expressiveness, facial expressions and mischievous humor of the performers. The last composition of Bangarade is intended for mixed youth choirs, but it can also be performed by adult choirs. The text itself is meaningless or is the meaning of the words left to the contractor himself. It is pronounced as written.
