A new website, chantsdesperanceonline.com, aims at making chants d'esperance songs available online. Its goal is defined as follows: "Providing an atmosphere for the Haitian Kreyol song book called the Chants D\'esperance."
As mentioned on the site, the website is an "anffiliate of Haitian Ministry Theophile Church in Christ Inc." The webmaster twittered that more songs are going to be posted and that readers need to watch for the updates.

Here is a review of this book: "Allelluia Haitian Chants of Hope and Faith: Praise to Thee, O Lord, King of Eternal Glory... is a listing of the most requested songs or hymns on ChandesperansOnline.com. It is the web site users' and authors' selections of their favorite hymns from the famous Chants d'esperance Francais et Creoles Haitiens. The authors of this release grew up singing these songs in the church and parochial schools they attended. They are songs such as "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" -"Quel Ami Fidele et Tendre Nous Avons en Jesus-Christ," "Quel Repos, Quel Repos" - "It is Well, It is Well...," etc. This book is a personal affair for the authors as they share their love of singing in French and Haitian creole..."




Sing along with Haitian Children! Canten con los chicos Haitianos. This compilation is for those who want to sing along with Haitian Children at christian venues, outreach mission trips, schools, churches and elsewhere. Some of the songs are short choruses...

Start playing some of these choruses on your guitar or piano and the Haitian children will follow you. They will sing with you. All throughout the country, these songs are are sung in most churches or revival centers.

These are songs I used to sing with the children of my Sunday school class. L'ecole du Dimanche or Sunday school can be a lot of fun with the right selection of songs.


Just in case you are interested in having more songs, here is a new book of choruses, short Haitian hymns, Lullaby and Play songs published on this link:

What's your favorite Chant's D'Esperance song? Tell us in the comment area!

If you know where you can buy some copies of this hymn book in the States, let us know. We have ordered some from La Presse Evangelique to share with some of our friends here. Haitians may lose most material possessions, but they will continue to rejoice and sing songs found in their chants d'esperance.



Here are a few favorites of mine: (I remember some of the lyrics, but not the titles)

Non, jamais tout seul (bis)

Moun ki Mete nan Jezu yon Konfyans ki san mezu

Yo kapab pa janm tonbe, delivrans yo asure...

Dis tout a Jesus.....

Quand le vol de la tempete,

Dis Tout a Jesus

J'ai Soif de ta presence

A Toi La Gloire

Mouin Pito Gen Jezu...

Haitians Continue to Meet and Sing Despite the Destruction of Their Temples and Instruments; They Are Perfecting A Cappella

Haitians are perfecting their vocal cord. They are singing a cappella these days. The quake destroyed most churches and related instruments. That is not a problem for them since they are used to singing a cappella any way. In the manner of most Haitian churches that can not afford to buy instruments or musicians, I will be posting a cappella songs from our chants d'esperance hymnal book in MP3 format.

What is a cappella?

Our dictionary defines it as the following: "A cappella is Italian for (In The Manner of The Church) music is solo or group vocal or singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. A cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato style. In the 19th century a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music.[2] In modern usage, a cappella often refers to an all-vocal group performance of any style, including barbershop, doo wop, and modern pop/rock. Today, a cappella also includes sample/loop "vocal only" productions by producers like Jimmy Spice Curry, Teddy Riley, Wyclef Jean, and other producers." See answers.com for more details.






Listen to this sample of a cappella music!

Maybe it is a sign of hope that most Haitians want these days. Six months after the quake that ravaged the country, many things remain the same. There are still bodies trapped under the debris of the quake in most parts of Port-au-Prince. Yet, pledges of billions of dollars were made. It is hard to know who is responsible to clean up after all this time. Money is everything. Money is needed to get projects started, but the organizations that hold the purse seem to include a minority of people who discuss the plans and expenditures in English, French and Spanish. 90% of Haitians whose sole language is Creole are excluded.

At the same time, Haitians do not give up hope. They continue to pray for change and delivery. They find their support from hymns found in Chandesperans or Chants d'Esperance sold at La Presse Evangelique in Petionville and eslewhere in the country.
