Today I present my original composition, SAVANNAH.  I completed this piece in 1994 and scored it for African instruments.  Below is a screenshot of the title page from the printed score:

 In 1994 I was hired to compose a theme for a college telecourse titled, THE AFRICANS.  This is a remix of the low fidelity original, using samples of genuine African instruments!
