Recorded on December 4, 2011 at the Music and Poetry service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Montclair, New Jersey. J. H. Kwabena Nketia (b. 1921) is considered a pioneer among African composers as well as an important African musicologist. Volta Fantasy refers to a heartland region of Ghana. It incorporates African melodies and rhythmic structures, yet is in sonata form. Artis Wodehouse chose music by African composers to reflect back to and amplify the poetry chosen and read by Rev. Charles Ortman for this special Advent service.
