Product Description

SAAMU KEJO (PSALM 8) BY AYO AJAYI.

Written in Yoruba Language for SATB and Organ, and Conceptualised for an acoustic space.
Psalm 8 is a masterful summary of God's glory and the unique dignity granted to
humankind.
This piece employs the Call and Response technique, a hallmark of African music, and delves deeply into rhythm as seen in traditional African musical practices. The composer creates a sequential relationship among various sections, allowing each voice group to preserve its distinct melodic form and rhythmic character. This method produces temporary dissonances and resolutions, which enrich the dynamic interaction of harmonic tension within the work. Additionally, there is a focus on the tonal nuances of the language, which largely influences the melodic development of the composition.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
