REPRINT SERIES
Benjamin Arthur’s Two Jamaican Pieces for orchestra, comprising Jamaican Song and Jamaican Rumba, is a lively and colorful representation of Jamaican musical traditions. These pieces capture the rhythmic energy and melodic charm of the island’s folk music, blending them with classical orchestration to create a vibrant and accessible concert work.
Jamaican Song is a more lyrical and expressive movement, featuring a flowing melody reminiscent of traditional Jamaican folk tunes. In contrast, Jamaican Rumba is an upbeat and dance-like piece, characterized by syncopated rhythms and infectious energy, reflecting the joyous spirit of Jamaican dance music.
The composer also arranged a version of the Rumba for String Orchestra available here.
