Africa

Experiencing Music Expressing Culture-This book introduces the musical traditions of West Africa and discusses the diversity motifs and structure of West African music within the larger patterns of the region's culture. Drawing upon the author's extensive fieldwork it explores how the music's complex rhythmic combinations in fast-paced patterns and quick tightly orchestrated movements influence how West Africans understand themselves and their culture.

Zimbe! Come sing the songs of Africa! is the 40-minute choral fusion of African song and jazz for SATB chorus children’s choir and jazz quintet which established composer Alexander L’Estrange's name worldwide and spawned a hugely successful series of large-scale works for the same forces. The addition of the children’s choir provides an opportunity for adult or secondary school SATB choirs to team up with local primary school or youth choirs bringing communities together through singing something for which L'Estrange has long been a passionate advocate. The work opens and closes with anattention-grabbing Njooni Zimbe*! Nyimbo za Africa! imploring us to 'Come sing the Songs of Africa!'; by the time you've heard the vibrant sequence of twelve songs which includes playground wedding funeral drinking protest worship songs and lullabies you will want to do just that. Zimbe! is the ideal piece for choirs who have enjoyed performing L'Estrange's Songs of a Rainbow Nation works by Karl Jenkins or David Fanshawe's African Sanctus. (* 'Zimbe' is the anglicised version of the Swahili word 'Ziimbe')

Arrangeur: Florian Bramböck. Par DIVERS AUTEURS / BRAMBOCK FLORIAN (ARR.). When you explore the contents of this book you will immerse yourself in the exotic world of Afro-Latin-Jazz, an exciting form of music fusing African and Caribbean dance rhythms with American Jazz. Latin music has roots not only in Central and South-American folk music but is also strongly influenced by music from Africa. In particular the rhythmic richness and exotic flavour of Afro-Latin-Jazz can be traced to the traditions of African music, which left its characteristic mark during the colonial period in America. These easy to moderately difficult clarinet duos serve as an introduction to the genre presenting some Latin and African grooves. Original compositions as well as arrangements of well-known melodies will introduce new sound and rhythmic elements to help develop your technique and ensemble playing. Above all however, this lively and varied music should be fun!/ Recueil / 2 Clarinettes
