- Summary:
- Description: Scope/Content: Igangan: (1) *Side 1-01: Igba music; (2) *Side 1-02 [two] songs for Obarake (orisa) with agogo; (3) *Side 1-03: Igba music (second part)Description: Igba is an Ijesha music in which a large hand-beaten calabash is combined with two agogo to provide accompaniment for historical songs in call and response format by chorus. The choral lines are heterophonic and include intervals of a 2nd or 7ths (Thieme 1969: 332). First igba selection features an interlocking 12/8 agogo pattern, with emphasis on the duple pulse. The second track contains songs for Obarake, an orisa (deity) local to Igangan. The chorus is arranged in a call and response form, with harmony created through a heterophonic texture [DjeDje - homophonic parallelism?]. Multiple agogo provide a duple meter polyrhythmic accompaniment.
