Sanna, Sannanina – flute/piccolo descant
$5.00
“Sanna, Sannanina” is a delightful South African song that is perfect for joyous Palm Sunday processions. Here I’ve added a flute descant that is almost as rhythmic as the djembe accompaniment. The recording above is an instrumental version with flute and djembe; this descant would also work over the congregation, choir, or praise team singing the song.
Descants for flute/piccolo. Download also includes SATB hymn with both South African and English texts.

Sanna, sannanina,
sanna, sanna, sanna.
Sanna, sannanina,
sanna, sanna, sanna.
Sanna, sanna, sanna,
sannanina, sanna, sanna, sanna.
Sanna, sanna, sanna,
sannanina, sanna, sanna, sanna.
Holy, most holy Lord,
Lord God of power and might.
Heaven and earth are filled,
filled with your holy light.
O blessed is the one,
the one who comes,
comes in the name of God.
Hosanna in the highest,
hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
