  • Description: This recording clearly demonstrates the progress of a single item of music over 20 years among an entirley aural (non-literate) musical people. For purposes of the recording the singers sang each verse only once and not the usual twice each. This was recorded shortly after Katini's death. Note the variations of Katini himself now played by his son Katinyana. Fourteen years later, and twenty years after it was composed. This Mzeno was still a great favourite of the Chopi and although no longer faetured as a dance movement in the more recent Ngodo it was constantly sung for the great pleasure ut gave to the musicians and singers. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This Mzeno, composed in 1940, was first recorded in Durban on 21st November 1943 when I took 6 Chopi musicians from their homes to demonstrate their music in that city. This group included the two famous leaders and composers, Katini and Komukomu's early Mzeno was, at my special request, performed again. It did not appeal to me to be quite the same as the original recording in Durban so I asked Komukomu why this was so. He suggested that it might be because he sometimes played it in a different key. He thereupon played it again and both versions were recorded, the one (CP-6) in the same key as the 1943 version and the other (CP-7) a third (307 cents) lower. This proves that in their scale it is possible to change mode or key without too much distortion and both versions are reproduced here for comparision with the original recording which is to be found on TR-209. Since no recourse to a written notation is, or was, possible to the players their three versions are of great musicological importance. It will be noted that the singers do not necessarily sing the same verses or in the same order as in the original, which is printed in my Chopi musicians page 34. The scale of Komukomu's Timbila xylophone an alto Sange was:- 496, 448, 404, 364, 328, 296, 272, 248 vs. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: The verses sung by the dancers in their own village are not quite the same as those I first wrote down and published in "Chopi Musicians". It emphasies the point that verses may be dropped or others added during the lifetime of the song. There is no rule to say that a lyric shall always be sung as at first composed. The leader can 'call' what verses he pleases. Orchestral dance with 16 Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: This is the old Mzeno (1947) which is now no longer sung and danced to. It was replaced by the Mzeno waHamela, Hamela's Mzeno. Sitiki was once working in the Johammesburg mines and sent his coat to the tailor to be mended because it was torn. The tailor put leather onto the tear. When Sitiki came for it and asked him why he put on leather patches the tailor said, "because of the Germans". The man went away and made a song that all English material came from Germany, and that was why he had to have leather patches on his coat. Orchestral dances with Timbila xylophones.

  • Description: a) This tune in 5 time is very well known in the southern part of the country, and has been set to the Njari Mbira as well as the bow and was recorded by H. T. T. in 1933, sixteen years earlier. b) The player strained up his bow for the second tune. Both tunes were recorded with the microphone very near the performer's mouth in order to demonstrate the sound of the Chipedani as heard by the player himself. The mouthed harmonics can be clearly heard. Only those very nearby would in fact hear the bow clearly and the mouth harmonics. Self delectative songs, with Chipendani musical bow and Chimazambi friction bow.

  • Description: Ngeniso, the entry of the dancers, and the exit of the dancers at the end of the Ngodo are the only movements in which a drum us used with the Timbila xylophones, and not every village uses drums. Some say that the loud noise of the drum spoils the music. This item could give substance to their objection, but Banguza's village the drum is preferred. Movement from the dance, with Timbila xylophones and in the Ngeniso movement with drum (single headed closed goblet) with 16 players (-14.52102-).
