The original composition calls for unity through the tradition of call and response and was first meant to be a simple family sing-along song for Kwanzaa. As it was added to the wind quintet repertoire of Imani Winds, a woodwind quintet that was created and founded by Coleman, and it soon became a signature piece of the ensemble. The melody is mainly a French horn solo with supporting rhythms from the upper winds and a constant motor played by the bassoon. Even though the meter is in 3\/4 time, the melody and percussive upper wind accompaniment is mostly phrased in 6\/8 when there is syncopation. Most importantly, the entire feel should be in 1. Suggested effects: flutter tongueing and trills within the flute line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coleman Page Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46970015220006,"sku":"TPB001017000","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/C000TPB001017000.jpg?v=1697528855","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/coleman-v-umoja","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
