Marketing CopyThe transcription of melodies contained in this collection has been praised as "the most complete expression of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's native bent and power." Using native songs of Africa and the West Indies with those that came into being in America during slavery, he has preserved their distinctive characteristics and individuality, while giving them an art form fully infused with their musical essence. Available in three volumes, book 1 includes melodies from Southeast Africa, South Africa, West Africa, and the West Indies. Included in Book 1: 1. At the dawn of day (Loko ku ti ga); 2. The stones are very hard (Maribye ma nonoha ngopfu); 3. Take Nabandji (Thata Nabandji); 4. They will not lend me a child (A ba boleki nwana!); 5. Song of Conquest (Ringendje); 6. Warriors' Song; 7. O lo ba; 8. The Bamboula (African Dance). Reprint edition.
