  • Disclaimer Many have commented that the title should be spelled "Shosholoza" instead of "Tshotsholoza." On the physical copies of music the choir was given, the title is spelled as "Tshotsholoza." Regardless of whether this is correct or incorrect, I will leave the title as is; as this is the spelling of the work as published by Walton Music.
    Conducted and arranged by Dr. Jeffrey Ames
    2012 GMEA All-State-Chorus Intermediate Mixed (9-10th grade high school), Feb 25, 2012, Savannah GA, Civic Center Theatre

    This song represents freedom. It is about the train from South Africa to Zimbabwe taking workers to and back from the mines. It talks about keeping the train moving. It was sung in front of Mandela's home the night he died & was kept going until the wee hours. Great performances, all

    My choir College sing this song and our professor said this song is for more advanced choir. And this 9th and 10th graders can sing this song, its could be possible either the school is experienced music or the teacher like to push challenging on their students. My music teacher at high school did the same to us and it's help us to push out of our comfort zone because if we stuck on singing English only song than it's hurt us music students not gotten used different languages songs. I see this first handed when some music experienced students and new ones haven't experienced different languages songs. I did and I can see why my music teacher said it's really important to sing in different languages. My classmates and professor was shocked I can sing in different language so easily. My professor asked how, I told her my music teacher from my highschool likes to push us to learned different language songs. She was impressed and asked to help out other who needed help which I did.

    The correct spelling for "Tshotsholaza" is Shosholoza. Moving Fast, Moving Strong. The word Shosholoza is a combination of both Ndebele (of Zimbabwe) and Zulu (of South Africa) words meaning “to push forward, endeavor, or strive.” The sound of the word itself is symbolic of the steam engine trains that carried miners through the mountains
