Three Yoruba Songs for Soprano Solo

ByGodwin Sadoh

The three songs in this collection are based on Yoruba folksongs: (i) Igi Oronbo (The orange tree), (ii) Olurombi, and (iii) Mo ri kini kan (I see something). In terms of tonality, the first song is based on the popular five-tone pentatonic scale; the melodic line of the second song is also in pentatonic scale, while the last song uses the diatonic scale freely. The songs are infused with Nigerian musical flavors, dance rhythms and dramatic nuances. The last song is a fairly lively music set to deliberately move the audience to sway on their seats.
