African Festival

AFRICAN FESTIVAL is a colorful work with a singable melody and idiomatic percussion writing that brings to life the African folk song, "Siyahamba," on which the piece is based. Performing this work provides and excellent opportunity to incorporate multicultural studies into your curriculum. All students, but particularly the percussion section, will love the distinctive sounds and interesting parts in this grade 1 ½ concert band feature.
