Wayne, Hayden & The State Philharmonic Of Brno
Symphony #5; Africa (a Tone Poem)
The Third Edition is Autographed by the composer Hayden Wayne. The African experience, predicated upon rhythm with endless aspirations for freedom inspired this work and is gratefully dedicated. A renaissance is upon us, one that grows beyond our specific ethnicities and shares the synergy of multiculturalism. We cannot survive as a society otherwise. The African contribution to America is immeasurable. In music alone, when Afro ethnicity mixed with Euro ethnicity a new American original was born...JAZZ! And jazz subsequently begot Rhythm and Blues, which begot Rock 'n' Roll. These folk idioms are so deeply entrenched in my psyche, that I was moved to write my symphonic trilogy: #2-REGGAE, #3-HEAVY METAL and 34-FUNK. This led me to my roots...AFRICA.
