about

In this piece, there are three musical motifs. The first two are melodic and support the text, “It is Mbombokwe, it is Mbombokwe, he is picking the caterpillars out of the bamboo canes!” The third, rhythmic and syncopated, supports the exclamations, “he he he.” The participation of the choir is restricted to a brief answer at the end of each motif.
