About the composer Sydney Guillaume (b. 1982) originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, came to the United States at the age of 11. His compositions have been praised by the Miami Herald as showing “impressive maturity and striking melodic distinction.” In 2004, he was named the Outstanding Graduate for the Department of Music Theory and Composition at the University of Miami Frost School of Music where he received his Bachelor of Music in Composition with emphasis in Media Writing and Production.

Sydney takes great pride in his Haitian roots. He hopes that his music will serve as an ambassador for his country and create an awareness of the beautiful culture that exists amidst the economic and political turmoil. Sydney is an active member of the choral community both as a composer and singer. He has been commissioned by renowned choirs such as The University of Miami Frost Chorale, Seraphic Fire, The Young New Yorkers Chorus, The Miami Children's Chorus, Florida State University Singers, Illinois Wesleyan University Collegiate Choir, and Kokopelli Choir. His music has been performed at ACDA, All-State Choir Conventions and abroad. Sydney resides in Los Angeles, California, where he is also pursuing a career in film music.

About the poet Gabriel T. Guillaume is Sydney Guillaume’s father. Mr. Guillaume is deeply attached to his family, his native land and culture, and his faith in a living omnipresent God. His poetry is based on Christian inspirations and is an imprint of profound humanism, a privileged source for Sydney and his music. “Wipip!!!” marks Gabriel and Sydney's 10th choral collaboration.

Wow! Look at how beautiful life is!

Wow! Look how happy my heart is!

Wow! There is no Cain and Abel!

The sun shines all over the blessed earth; Under one flag, all nations unite.

There are no gates, there are no borders; There are no fights, there are no wars… Wow! Wow! Look at how wonderful life is!

Wow! Notice at how my heart is so content!

There is no Cain and Abel…

We are all one family!

There is no fighting, there is no war…

We are all one family!

There are no bombs, there are no guns…

We are all one family!

We are all one, we all make one…

Look, look around! Wow! Peace, Love, Joy; How beautiful!

We are content, we are happy; yes, How beautiful!

Flowers of all colors have taken over my garden; Nightingales and pigeons are singing scales all day long.

Wild beasts and sheep are sleeping on the same bed; Happiness has spread in the midst of all deserts.

For all those who love, let us call out “Hurray!”

For all people on earth, let us call out “Hurray!”

For the blessings of life, let’s cry out “Hurray!”

For music of all colors, let us shout “Hurray!”

Hurray for the Love!

Hurray for the Life!

Hurray for the Music!

Hurray for the Peace!

Hurray for all those who are listening!

Wow! What a wonderful thing when people respect each other; When peace and love is spread everywhere.

Whether at home or at work, When we all become one, life is amazing!

Life is beautiful! Look around, just look around!

To all friends listening, we must never forget, Life is beautiful when we love one another.

Look how amazing life is.

Look how happy my heart is.

Wow!!!

Gabriel T. Guillaume
