Bangala: each
Composer: Childs David T.

Notes from the Composer: "Bängala" is the Kikongo word for poisonwood, a noxious shrub that can cause painful welts if it touches the skin, or death if its smoke is infaled. This pieces is a series of vignettes inspired by Barbara Kingsolver's novel, "The Poisonwood Bible," which narrates a combination of fictional and historical events in the first days of independence in the Congo. Three sections: "Kilanga Village," "The Goat Feast," "17 January 1961." Wonderful masterpiece for your next concert! Instrumentation also includes 2 vibraphones, 5 marimbas (4 4-octave, 1 5-octave), kalimba (or synthesizer), 5 brake drums, bass drum/3 tom-toms, 5 log drums and piano.
