Publishers of original music manuscripts and scores of traditional African percussion music, Folk, Contemporary, Classical & Jazz music for serious study and concert performances since 1997.
We publish music for a wide variety and combination of instrumentations, to include Small Orchestras, Chamber Orchestras, Percussion Ensembles, Small and Mixed Ensembles, Quintets, Quartets, Trios and for Solo instrument with or without a Mixed Ensemble. These body of works are written in the idiomatic languages, form, structure, rhythm and motif of the music from Central West Africa; within the circumscription and framework either in a traditional or contemporary context and orchestrated for Western instrumentation.
Our publications offer a variety of challenging and energetic body of works for Small Orchestra, complex polyphonic and poly rhythmic works for Chamber Orchestra, that are pregnant with variegated thematic African motifs and structures, multi-faceted forms and rhythmic structures which will interest the scholar or professional musician interested in detailed analysis, as in the intricacies and structured framework of polyphony in African music, or the exotic possibilities of structured textures and clusters of dense rhythmic layers innate within pygmy music, a Bulu or a Ngemba xylophone orchestra. The ethnomusicologist or the professional instrumentalist, or music scholar will also be interested in the understanding of such complex forms of orchestration to be found in Bamoum music or a Tikari Masquerade Dance music, where reoccuring clusters of assymetrical rhythmic patterns and multiple aggragates of melodic motifs are simultaneously contained together within a single piece and having a homogenous continuity in form and structure.
