Babatunde Olatunji Sheet Music
Babatunde Olatunji's sheet music and percussion resources bring the rhythms and voices of African and world music traditions into your choir and ensemble room. His choral arrangements, particularly the popular "Betelehemu" settings for SATB and TTBB voices, have become repertoire staples for sacred and multicultural programs. Find everything from printed choral arrangements to instructional DVDs that deepen your ensemble's cultural understanding.
Who it's for
- Church and school choir directors building multicultural sacred repertoire
- Percussion instructors and world music ensemble leaders
- Choral musicians seeking accessible yet culturally grounded arrangements
What's inside
- Choral octavos in SATB and TTBB voicings, including multiple "Betelehemu" settings
- African drumming instruction via DVD with performance and technique guidance
- Mix of printed scores and digital PDF downloads for flexible access
Things to consider
"Betelehemu" appears in both SATB and TTBB arrangements, so choose based on your choir's voice sections and performance goals. The African Drumming DVD works best as a teaching tool alongside ensemble rehearsals rather than as a performance score. Consider pairing choral octavos with the DVD to give singers cultural context and rhythmic authenticity behind the arrangements.
