Bawo. Arr. Michael Barrett and Ralf Schmitt. (Tuks Camerata)

The University of Pretoria Camerata, conducted by Dr. Michael Barrett, perform Bawo.
Bawo (Traditional isiXhosa)
Father I am your child
Even though I have sinned.
I cry before you
Father forgive me.
My transgressions are many,
They are uncountable;
Not withstanding that, I look unto You.
Father forgive me.

Michael Barrett and Ralf Schmitt together create the most beautiful music on earth, and the choir is spectacular

I wrote my paper for SASRIM on The Stylistics of South African Indigenous Choral Music and I can say that after listening to this piece attentively I will continue to strive in getting in communication with Dr. Michael Barrett

Wow, you guys never disappoint. It's amazing and I like the fact that you're calling it a South African Song

[@luyanda_kazi]

This is my favorite TUKS camerata piece ever!

[@bagelboys1785]

We did this song for FLACDA and it never failed to make my heart soar. Under the context of this song, it connected me to the music in a way I have never felt before in other pieces I've sang. I loved every moment singing this song with everyone else and I give my thanks to Barrett for helping us feel for the song and bringing it all together.
