Fill us with your love - Tom Colvin (Performed by SADVO)

 

"In Praise of brotherly love" performed by SADVO

 The song "In praise of brotherly Love" composed by Dr SJ Khosa (1936-2013) is based on Psalm 133. 

It is in the spirit of encouraging unity and harmonious working together that Shalathi pens the song to symbolize the fluid relationship he had with his brother-by-choice, Dr Reuel Jethro Khoza. In simple terms, chosen brotherhood is highlighted as even more impactful compared to brotherhood by blood. Being related or being brother by birth or blood connections does not spare you from putting some work to bringing the fruits of your relations to life and recognising that we are a closely knit community wherein any elder is your parent, any peer is your sibling and any child is your son/daughter. I am because you are,,,,gives us a life that will never end.

PSALM 133

1 How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony!

2 It is like the precious anointing oil running down from Aaron's head and beard, down to the collar of his robes.

3 It is like the dew on Mount Hermon, falling on the hills of Zion. That is where the Lord has promised his blessing - life that never ends.

Composed by Dr SJ Khosa (1936-2013)

Even in the bible, the word of God say we ought to love one another, besides love all else is futile and worthless.

SJ KHOSA MEETS WA MOZART CONCERT

SHALATI JOSEPH KHOSA’s musical journey and philosophy share striking similarities with those of WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART. As the life of SJ Khosa unfolds we learn that, like Mozart, he composed his first music at the tender age of 5 years. Similar to Mozart, who was taught music by his own father, Leopold, SJ Khosa also grew up in a musical family under the guidance of his father, Risimati, who was a church choir master and a prolific composer. Just like Mozart who lost his job while visiting his family, when SJ was visiting overseas when he lost his job at home, hence the penning of Mintirho ya vulavula. Mozart expressed himself so well in his music that most people believe that his last Requiem was based on his own life and what he thinks of the after-life. In a similar fashion SJ wrote some of his music about his own experiences and thoughts of the world to come.  The parallels drawn culminate in SJ Khosa ultimately reaching Austria, Mozart’s birth place, learning much of the paths walked by Mozart and learning much of his music including the flawless orchestrations Mozart is known for. This concert draws these parallels and celebrates the melodies of WA Mozart alongside SJ Khosa.

Portia Malapane and Joy Seerane explore Oklahoma Baptist University

TWO SOLOISTS FROM UNIVERSITY OF LIMPOPO SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO OKLAHOMA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY, USA

Portia Malapane and Joy Seerane obtained first prize and are current champions in the Solo Soprano and Mezzo soprano in the current standings at the South African Tertiary Institutions Choral Associations (SATICA) and have also done well during the National Choir Old Mutual Choir Competitions. They were hosted by OBU in the  Fine Arts Faculty led by Dr Christopher Mathews, after his successful visit to the University of Limpopo and invited the two students for a formal music and academic experience in Oklahoma. They successfully left South Africa on April 17 and arrived in Oklahoma on April 18, 2018 to start their music and academic experience. They interacted with students, staff, university leaders, university management members, and even met the University President (Photo above). They receive personal voice training sessions with seasoned music professors and also performed South African music in front of staff and students. Portia Malapane is a 3rd year student in the School of Education while Joy Seerane had just graduated in Bachelor of Arts (Administration) a few days before departure. They both visited the School of Education and School of Arts as part of envisaged long-term aspirations to have students study at OBU on a long basis either for undergraduate or postgraduate studies across all faculties especially in programs not offered at UL. It is hoped that this journey will open more doors of interactions between the two institutions and raise the bar of academic excellence higher. We will seek more funds for a bigger group and more students to follow suit.
