Africa: Ceremony, Song, and Ritual
By Robert W. Smith
Item: 00-BD01057
Series: Belwin Symphonic Band
Grade 4
Format: Conductor Score & Parts
A stunning work of gigantic proportion-filled with the mystery, the fire, and the intrigue of the Dark Continent. A large percussion section will give this composition its drive. Robert suggests that all available percussionists encircle the audience in the final section, drawing the audience inside the worship circle. (9:00) This title is available in SmartMusic.

We did this in High School concert band and man I loved it. Let me tell you it has some wild parts for bass clarinet. Especially that bass clarinet, piccolo soli/duet starting at 1:06 (and a half really), but man is this a ride of a song on bass woodwinds. I had a blast.

Is this piece supposed to have 2 piccolo parts? How come there's split piccolo parts during the lyrical

@mlefeb 5 лет назад

Just for that section I think, it looks like there's a note in the flute part that says go to 2nd piccolo, and I'm guessing it's only for that section because it doesn't say anywhere to go back to flute, huh....

@haleylukes6784 5 лет назад

I'm currently playing this piece and I am our piccolo player! My part does call for 2nd piccolo in a few places, although I can't tell you specific measures.

@physes1139 5 лет назад

@@haleylukes6784 that's cool. I think the flutes are just playing rly high so the score wrote it into the piccolo staff.

@lovermuzak 4 года назад

This piece has 1 person on picc and another 1 doubling on flute/picc. The person playing the 2nd picc part should just play picc when the part has the 2 parts and then just switch back to flute for the rest.

@stevechauvette 4 года назад

Does anybody think piece is racist/exotifies Africans? The program notes indicate playing in a "primal" manner, ad lib "native vocals" (7:24) and state the piece is based on the "primitive folk music of West Africa"... Hazo has several "exotic" world music pieces, like Fantasy on a Japanese Folk Song and Arabesque. Any thoughts?

@LuisDiaz-dy5sm 4 года назад

Steve Chauvette I do think the Phrasing of the descriptions are a bit off putting but I don’t think It’s racism however I don’t get the comparison to hazo

@MannytheMan 4 года назад

This is what my entire band class was thinking. We legit had a 30 minute conversation about if this was racist. What me and other members said during that part was "culturally insensitive".

@benfleishman2944 4 года назад

I totally agree - Hazo's music can be insensitive but it's far less egregious than this piece. If a white composer wants to write music evoking Africa pre-European colonization, which IMO can definitely be cultural appropriation, they should at least do their research rather than basing an entire piece on preconceived ideas of an entire continent.

@joshrauw545 3 года назад

@@benfleishman2944 Nailed it. Is it racist? That's certainly debatable. Is it cultural appropriation? Absolutely, especially based on how ill-informed it seems.

@tylercoughranmusic 2 года назад

I don't think this song is racist. It shows the culture of Africa and is very exciting.
