Nne na Tatu
(Swahili for Four on
Three) is inspired by the
music of sub-Saharan
Africa and other world
music traditions. Like
many of those traditions,
Nne na Tatu is driven by
relentless percussion and
rhythmic-focused
development. A bold,
festive theme, introduced
in the brass, recurs
throughout and grounds
the piece amidst a series
of unpredictable detours
- a Scottish-inspired
dance in the winds, a
marimba melody
reminiscent of the music
of the Andes - before
returning in a final
triumphant fanfare. Dur:
5:15 (Recorded live by
the Indiana University of
Pennsylvania Symphony
Band, Jason Worzbyt,
conductor).
