Ubuntu

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich

The opening of Stanley Moss�s poem unfurls the spirit captured in Zwilich�s musical setting for Bass Voice, Djembe (African drum), and Piano: �I salute a word, I stand up and give it my chair, because this one Zulu word, ubuntu, holds what English takes seven to say: �the essential dignity of every human being.� I give my hand to ubuntu �� Zwilich�s six-minute work proudly declaims Moss�s message, using a djembe to add African-inspired color and punctuation to the musical whole.
