A World Of Music“A World Of Music” is a happy song. It begins with a simple ostinato
on harp and piano which leads to an optional solo and then, duet. If youhave singers who are capable of performing the solo/duet, it can be quiteeffective, as you will hear on the recording. The solo/duet may continueto measure 24, or, as we did on the recording, you may have the rest ofyour singers join in at bar 16, which is an optional divisi.
Each time at measure 24, the melody is sung in unison. On therepeat, it may split into divisi. At measure 34, it is unison again until thechorus at measure 44. Again, the first time through is unison, then divisiat the repeat.
Dynamics around measure 59 should be noticed, as they are differentthe two times they are sung. The first time, since the song is going backfor the D.S., the dynamics are reduced to a mezzo forte. The second time,the song goes to the coda and a dynamic of forte is indicated.
The divisi at the coda is optional and can be performed as unison tothe end using either part 1 or part 2 as the melody. Be sure to point outto your singers that the section at measure 65 is sung four times. Again,the divisi at the very end of the song is optional. Consider letting onlyselected individuals sing some of the alternate notes.
If you choose to use the recording, you will hearpiano, guitar, electric bass, drums, congas, trumpets,horns, trombones, flute, saxophone, and strings. Wealso used some synthesizer sounds, such as the folkharp and FM Piano. The hand percussion you hear enterat various points in the song are all deliberately chosenfrom different places around the world. We includedVenezuelan maracas, which are used for the joropo style ofmusic, frenikiwa (African castanets), an African ashiko ordjembe drum, and a pandeiro from Brazil. Be sure to let yourstudents listen to the instrumental version of the song tosee if they can identify the different sounds.
