Score and Parts. 33 pages. TigerSong LLC #717791. Published by TigerSong LLC (A0.1116337). William Billings's early American hymn Africa adapted for wind ensemble. It opens with a grand processional in 3/4 stating an original melody. It then moves to a minor inversion of Billings's melody, before resolving to the Africa as a trio between euphonium, trombone, and cornet. It then blossoms into a brass choir before ending with a grand march, in which the processional melody and Africa are played together. An easy piece that sounds great!
