Classification: Lawson-Gould Sacred Extended Choral Works and Collections. Folk; Multicultural; Secular; World. CD. Composed 1963. Alfred Music #00-51097. Published by Alfred Music (AP.51097). UPC: 038081581347. English. Traditional Welcome Song.
This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance. Built on the familiar tune (plus some new material and a few English words), this general music class favorite is fully developed as a choral arrangement. Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.
