This optimistic piece is characterized by catchy, singable melodies and a syncopated rhythmic drive in the vocal and piano writing. Wong employs a variety of textures to bring the setting to life, including a particular light-hearted vocal play motif ('la la li la lay') that is usually heard in 'Canggung', a Malay folk song. The text was co-written by the composer and the Singaporean vocal percussionist Cherie Chai, and celebrates the life-long relationships created and nurtured within the choral community and the priceless gift of shared choral experiences.
