sweet suite

This is an original piano solo that incorporate the techniques of composition, arrangement and improvisation. It is a medley of South African songs by Glen Mafoko (‘Mayibuye’) and Mackay Davashe (‘Lakutshona Ilanga’), the Zimbabwean traditional song ‘Shosholoza’, and an original composition by Surendran (‘Madiba’).

The piece is track 6 on Reddy’s second CD, Rough ‘n Reddy (The Ill-tempered Keyboard, Part II). There is no notated score, because Reddy recorded the music directly in the studio, but the track and the CD liner notes can be downloaded free at checkout. The other six tracks are get up and go!, the gravy train, ubunene ngamandla, vrede vanaand, namibia, and lîla’s song for winnie-the-pooh.
