Product Description
This choral arrangement of Dave Dobbyns Welcome Home is the same arrangement used in the feature film Tinā, offering choirs the chance to perform this powerful and heartfelt anthem with the same emotional depth heard on screen.
Originally written by Dobbyn after witnessing an anti-racism protest in Christchurch, Welcome Home is a song of unity, belonging, and open-hearted hospitality. This arrangement itself was first developed in response to the Christchurch mosque shootings, honouring the songs message in a choral setting. Dobbyns naturally free-flowing rhythms have been carefully adapted for choir, while fresh harmonic touches - such as the poignant reharmonisation of and the world is so weary in war - bring new depth to the familiar melody. An optional Māori karanga can also be included at a key moment, adding to the songs emotional impact.
Scored for SATB divisi choir with piano, this arrangement also includes optional bass, drums, and percussion for those wanting to bring a fuller, band-like sound.
A stunning choice for concerts, community events, and special occasions, this arrangement of Welcome Home is as enduring as the song itself - an invitation to come together and sing from the heart.
