This piece by Keith Baird reflects the sounds of the jungles and plains of Africa. The simple melody is supported by a rhythmic, easy keyboard accompaniment that can be even more effective when using "log drum" sounds on a synthesizer. A fun, well-crafted ensemble piece for beginning level players that features imitation between sections, simple harmony in parallel lines, and bold, modal sonorities. As always, Kenneth Baird creates interesting parts for all players.
