“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 between a series 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.ŸDur: 5:15 (Recorded live by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Symphony Band, Jason Worzbyt, conductor)
