This piece for trombone has a time signature of 4/4. The key is D major. It is an easy piece to play.



"Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" appeared first as a hymn in 1897 when it was written by Enoch Sontonga, a teacher a Methodist mission school in Johannesburg. The title is written in a South African indigenous language, Xhosa, and means "Lord Bless Africa". The hymn was written to a tune by the Welsh composer, Joseph Parry, called "Aberystwyth". In 1925 it was adopted as the anthem of the African National Congress, and became a symbol of the anti-apartheid movement. It was also a pan-African liberation anthem, and was later adopted as the national anthem by Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania after independence (Zimbabwe and Namibia have subsequently adopted new anthems).



This Hymn is part of the South African Anthem as well.
