Let Us Sing "Debout Sainte Cohorte"

Download "Debout Sainte Cohorte"


Debout, sainte cohorte, soldats du Roi des rois !
Tenez d’une main forte l’étendard de la croix
Au sentier de la gloire Jésus-Christ nous conduit
De victoire en victoire Il mène qui Le suit

La trompette résonne : debout, vaillants soldats !
L’immortelle couronne est le prix des combats
Si l’ennemi fait rage, soyez fermes et forts
Redoublez de courage s’il redouble d’efforts

Debout pour la bataille, point de trêve aux vaincus !
Si votre bras défaille regardez à Jésus !
De l’armure invincible soldats, revêtez-vous
Le triomphe est possible pour qui lutte à genoux

Debout, debout encore! Luttez, jusqu’au matin
Déjà brille l’aurore, à l’horizon lointain
Bientôt jetant nos armes aux pieds du Roi des rois
Les chants après les armes, le trône après la croix.

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.
