Program Notes
This celebratory work with an African feel is named after the seventh day of Kwanzaa, Imani, which translates to mean "faith." Featuring some unison chants sung by the band members, a delightful piccolo solo and fascinating percussion parts, this captures the tribal feeling that is so important to the celebration of this African-American holiday.
