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