Tau Ya Thaba means “Lion of a mountain” in the Sotho language. Sotho is the native language of Lesotho. Lesotho, a country nestled in the southern part of South Africa, is also affectionately known as the Mountain Kingdom, owing to its beautiful, majestic mountains. Moving between towns involves crossing valleys and ascending many mountains, whether by car, foot or horse. This song speaks of the Mountain Kingdom as a place for the mighty; a place for the truly courageous. The text translates to “only the courageous climb the lion of a mountain”, a metaphor for life in which only the strong can climb some of the toughest hills. It is a song that celebrates the beauty of Lesotho and a song of encouragement.

Text Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving-kindness as the flood, when the Prince of Life, our Ransom, shed for us His precious blood. Who His love will not remember? Who can cease to sing His praise? He can never be forgotten throughout heaven's eternal days.
4 2 0 2 E H T A L O D P On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide; through the floodgates of God's mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above, and heaven's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love.
In Thy truth Thou dost direct me By Thy Spirit through Thy Word; And Thy grace my need is meeting as I trust in Thee, my Lord. Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring Thy great love and pow'r on me, Without measurem, full and boundless, drawing out my heart to Thee. William Rees, 1802-1883

Who is "Dear Billy Boy"? At the end of the 17th century, the area in Northern Ireland known as Ulster saw an influx of immigrants, mostly from Scotland. Many fought in the Williamite War on the side of King William III of Orange, affectionately nicknamed “King Billy.” Beginning in 1710, hundreds of thousands of these folk participated in a second migration to the American Colonies through Pennsylvania and into Appalachia, where they eventually became known as the Scotch- or Scots-Irish. Supporters of “King Billy” were often called “Billy Boys,” and “Billy Boys of the Hills,” which may even be one of the original derivations for the term “Hill Billy!"
4 2 0 2 E H T A L O D P
My song Billy Boy tells the story of one of these early archetypical immigrants – a veteran of King William’s wars, weary of the world and looking for a new home. Perhaps Billy plans to bring his wife over from Lough Neagh, a beautiful lake in Ulster, after he has settled? Equally possible is that Billy has fled his life in Ulster for good, including his wife, and his nostalgia is as much regret for his actions as sadness for what he has lost.
The music features a poignant minor key mountain melody, set for piano and fiddle. Bluegrass music is the modern-day descendent of the folk songs that these Scots-Irish immigrants brought to Appalachia, so the inclusion of a “string band” of mandolin, banjo, guitar, bass, and perhaps dobro or even penny whistle can add a level of texture and complexity. I hope you enjoy Billy Boy!
-Timothy Michael Powell, composer
Timothy Michael Powell is a composer, conductor, and music educator (not necessarily in that order!). Called "a skilled composer who understands the voice in all stages of development" by New York Concert reviews, Timothy's compositions eclectically span stylistic genres, and include majors works such as Wedding Mass, premiered at Carnegie Hall, Incarnatio Mysteria premiered at Lincoln Center in 2011, and St. George and the Dragon, a collaboration with renowned poet and lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri, premiered in April 2014 at Lincoln Center to rave reviews. His bluegrass triptych Dear Appalachia: Songs For My Mountain Home received rotating world premiere performances in Ireland and throughout the U.S., culminating in a Carnegie Hall premiere in 2017.
Timothy was one of only 25 educators in the United States to be named a Semi-finalist for the 2016 Grammy Music Educator Award, and won the American Prize in Choral Performance in 2012. He was the 1999 National Choristers Guild Scholar, and a 2002 Fulbright Scholar to Bulgaria. Timothy has successfully led choral programs in middle school, high school and universities, performing multiple times by peer-reviewed invitation at NAfME and ACDA conferences. He holds a DMA in Conducting from the University of South Carolina and his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Belmont University. He enjoys membership in ASCAP and Pi Kappa Lambda and serves in leadership roles in NAfME, and ACDA. He and his wife Jennifer have two musical children.

TEXT I know not where the road will lead I follow day by day, or where it ends: I only know I walk the King's highway. I know not if the way is long, and no one else can say; but rough or smooth, up hill or down, I walk the King's highway.
4 2 0 2 E H T A L O D P The way is truth, the way is love, for light and strength I pray, and through the years of life, to God I walk the King's highway.
And some I love have reached the end, but some with me may stay, their faith and hope still guiding me: I walk the King's highway. Through light and dark the road leads on till dawns the endless day, when I shall know why in this life I walk the King's highway. The way is truth, the way is love, for light and strength I pray, and through the eyes of life, to God I walk the King's highway. Yes, I walk the King's highway. I will walk the King’s highway.
NOTES FROM THE COMPOSER
This piece is an original, gospel-influenced setting of author Evelyn Atwater Cummins’ text, “I Know Not Where The Road Will Lead,” dating from 1922. Traditional hymn versions of the text can be found set to the tunes “Laramie,” “Noel (Sullivan)” and “Manoah (Rossini).” The parts are SAB with minimal divisi, and can be arranged for solos, duets, or the full choir as needed or desired. I would encourage the choir and pianist to feel free to add their own improvisation, in the style of a jazz or gospel interpretation, as the Spirit moves you! - William V. Malpede

** entire chorus makes an open-mouthed hissing sound (no ss sounds) just open-mouthed breathing, unpitched, but with crescendo and an accented finish on an unpitched/unvoiced "ah." Scream to follow should be performed by a maximum of one scream soloist in each section (8 voices, max) and should be on the beat, quickly released, and blood-curdling. (This is a reactionary scream in fear of the evil dragon.)
