Jim, Motsoalle oa Ka

‘Jim, Motsoalle oa Ka’ is one of few double choruses Mohapeloa wrote – they were not common at this time, generally – and it sounds like an ‘occasion’ piece, although it is not known what the occasion was. Harmonically it is simpler than many of Mohapeloa’s other songs. The tessitura of the voices, especially Soprano 1, lies rather high, and the writing between the two choirs is quite varied, which suggests that a special choir was formed on the occasion of the first performance.
