Recorded live on Sunday, December 7, 2014, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Chamber Singers ensemble of the Girl CHOIR of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. The familiar African American song, “Angels watching over me” is given cantus firmus treatment while a lilting African lullaby, "Abiyoyo" gently sways around it. The Bantu song, "Abiyoyo" is traditionally sung at bedtime as a song to entrance night time monsters into a dancing state; mother and father can then chase the monsters away so baby can safely sleep. Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo, Abiyoyo- yo-yo-yo-yo -yo-yo All night, all day, Angels watching over me, my Lord All night,all day, Angels watching over me  less
