Tobias Rhythm 1 - explanation

One of two pieces by composer and musician Tobias Sturmer, written especially for a performance by pupils from Wandsworth at the Royal Festival Hall on 22nd March 2010.

This first piece provides a soft, calm introduction allowing all the performers to take their place on stage.

Although the music is newly composed, it is inspired by traditional Mandinka drumming rhythms from West Africa and uses many of the same structures, e.g. signals, bass drum accompaniments, call and response breaks etc. The music is easy to learn - picked up by our students within a couple of sessions - and appropriate for pupils in KS2 and KS3.

See Tobias Rhythm 1 - performance to see how all the parts fit together.
