In this detailed study Simha Arom takes a new and original approach
to the understanding of the complex and sophisticated patterns of
polyphony and polyrhythm that characterise African music.
Considering in particular the harp, sanza, xylophone and percussion
music of Central Africa, Simha Arom develops a a rigorous method
for the analysis of the music and for the recording and deciphering
of the many strands of polyphony and polyrhythm. Through a
systematic breakdown of the many layers of apparently improvised
rhythm he reveals the essential structure which underlies this rich
and complex music. Inspired also by linguistic techniques,
Professor Arom regards the music very much as a grammatical system.
