About the work
‘Dance of Africa’ is for violin and piano and lasts around 4 minutes. This piece is based on three short West African rhythmic cells which would normally be played on instruments such as congas, clave and cowbell.
This piece develops melodic and harmonic material based on these rhythms, as well as a mode written especially for this piece - A Bb C Db E F F# G A. The manner in which it uses these rhythms and mode suggests a blend, or fusion, of African and Western musical styles.
