Review:
"Take time in life. Take time in life. Take time in life 'cause you got far way to go. I was passing by my brother called to me. And he said to me you better take time in life." This work is based on a Liberian folk song and is a celebration of living life to its fullest. It is a musical essay on life and invites the listener to contemplate quiet moments, our labors, and our celebrations. The traditional West African drum parts will add an authentic feel and will make this piece the perfect addition to your repertoire any time of year.
Note: the Full Score preview shows only the full score, not the separate instrumental parts; 3 copies of the percussion parts for Djembe, Gankokwe, and Shekere are included as pullouts.
