All 12 Studies in the first volume could be performed together as an item in a concert (about 25 minutes, total). Study I, Okoye, fuses a commonality I found in some Edo (Nigeria) and Baganda (Uganda) polyrhythms. Study II, Edo, is an old Bini (Nigeria) folk melody sandwiched by two layers of balafon (wooden xylophone) ostinato pattern for an ancient Wollof (Senegal) royal dance. Study III, Udje, is based on an Urhobo (Nigeria) dance with the same name; actually, the dance sketches for a later composition, Ayevwiomo (Birth) for flute & piano. Study IV, Tunis, is based on an old tune I fell in love with among the Tuaregs in Tunisia and Burkina Faso, but which I later notated when I heard it again in northern Ghana by a Dagomba gonje (1-string fiddle) player. Study V, Jali, was fashioned from my years hanging out with kora playing griot friends from West Africa and kraar-playing friends from the Abyssinian subregion of northeastern Africa. It's from my first sketch for a later composition, the 3rd movement of Five Sketches for Flute, Violin and Piano. Study VI, Iroro, draws from the 'trance-like' dances of the "River-goddess" cults I observed across the West African coast; it's from the first sketches for a later composition, with the same title, for flute and piano. Study VII, Herero Wedding Dance, is a cross between my travels in Namibia and Ethiopia. Among the Herero and Tigre peoples the day after the first nuptial night is particularly significant. The 'events' of that 'first night' often call for communal dance and more celebration! Studies VIII, IX and XI echo Study III, Ayevwiomo.Their mastery will sensitize the pianist to appreciating a wide variety of African dance music. Study 10, Barka, brings us back to Arabia and Foula regions of Africa. It's extracted from my Five Sketches for Flute, Violin and Piano. Study 12, Agbadza, draws from the royal and funeral dances of Ghana and Dahomey regions of West Africa.

Like their counterparts for piano, some of the Six Rhythmic Studies for Harp were repurposed for the pedal harp, mostly written on demand from friends and music students wishing for a better understanding of some of Africa's multitudinous rhythmic patterns. Some of these studies may also be amenable to the lever harp.

Erudite and exhaustive, Gerhard Kubik’s Theory of African Music provides an authoritative account of its subject. Over the course of two volumes, Kubik, one of the most prominent experts in the field, draws on his extensive travels and three decades of study throughout Africa to compare and contrast a wealth of musical traditions from a range of cultures. In this second volume, Kubik explores a variety of topics, including Yoruba chantefables, the musical Kachamba family of Malawˆ i, and the cognitive study of African rhythm. Drawing on his remarkable ability to make cross-cultural comparisons, Kubik illuminates every facet of the African understanding of rhythm, from timing systems to elementary pulsation. His analysis of tusona ideographs in Luchazi culture leads to an exploration of African space/time concepts that synthesizes his theories of art, rhythm, and culture. Featuring a large number of photographs and accompanied by a compact disc of Kubik’s own recordings, Theory of African Music, Volume II, will be an invaluable reference for years to come.

The Suite for Horn and Piano (with optional percussion and interpretive dance) is another sonic foray into African mythology, traditions and metaphysics. It's my first in-depth exploration into the versatility of the horn. After all, what other instrument can straddle so regally on the thrones of the woodwinds and the brass families of instruments! Subtitled "Tales of Sango," each of the six movements captures an aspect or variation of the many tales about one of the most feared yet venerable of all Yoruba deities: Sango, the god of Thunder, or as some anthropologists put it, the "Thor" of African mythology.

These four pieces were arranged over time for harpist colleagues and friends who were participants at one of the composer's choral workshops, or requested arrangements from his "Songs of Africa" (the collection published by Oxford University Press) or the "Twelve African Songs for Solo Voice and Piano," published by African Music Publishers.

Fanfare For String Quartet written by Fred Onovwerosuoke and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-11-30 with categories.
"Fanfare" employs various bowing techniques -- spicatto, col legno, sul ponticello and often exaggerated pizzicato -- for the traditional string quartet to immediately become a surrogate for a multi-instrumental ensemble of loud horns, war-drums, dance steps, clanging machetes, and vocal ululation that characterize West African communal dances that have persisted among African-descent peoples in Cuba, Haiti and the Gullah traditions of the South Carolina coast. "Fanfare" is a major rhythmic workout, albeit, one that fine musicians will find worthwhile. It is a brief journey into a vast sanctum of intricate rhythms. It is a celebration of life; of a people's accomplishments, and their hopes and aspirations for the future. Recorded by Invoke String Quartet of Austin, Texas.

Taken together, these comprehensive volumes offer an authoritative account of the music of Africa. One of the most prominent experts on the subject, Gerhard Kubik draws on his extensive travels and three decades of study in many parts of the continent to compare and contrast a wealth of musical traditions from a range of cultures. In the first volume, Kubik describes and examines xylophone playing in southern Uganda and harp music from the Central African Republic; compares multi-part singing from across the continent; and explores movement and sound in eastern Angola. And in the second volume, he turns to the cognitive study of African rhythm, Yoruba chantefables, the musical Kachamba family of Malaŵi, and African conceptions of space and time. Each volume features an extensive number of photographs and is accompanied by a compact disc of Kubik’s own recordings. Erudite and exhaustive, Theory of African Music will be an invaluable reference for years to come.
