Heritage Music Press Banuwa Yo - Traditional Liberian/Weston - 2pt

Music: Traditional Liberian Folk Song
Arranger: Mark Weston
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: 2pt with piano accompaniment and optional percussion

Mark Weston created an easy-to-learn arrangement of a popular folk song from the West African coast that depicts a caring relative or friend consoling a young child who misses her family. The voices sing the melody in unison before splitting and singing it again as a round. Simple harmony and gentle counterpoint bring the work to a satisfying end. An explanation of the song, a pronunciation guide, and percussion notes for the optional parts are included.
