'Serengeti Serenade' features the Kudu [Antelope] horn; described as sort of a French horn, it is also heard as a signature at the end. Kalimba, various percussion and African choral samples build ever gradually during the bridge or 'middle eight.'

On the Korg Triton, there is a patch described as 'Song of Africa' that served as the inspiration for this work. It is not unusual for pre-set patches to be quite enough to evoke a creative response and the Triton very much lived up to its reputation. This composition was another of those that wrote itself. Written early in 2002 on a recently purchased Triton LE, it remained without an instrumental chorus until late in 2004 when I began in earnest to arrange and produce what became quite a departure from my typical compositional style. Close your eyes and enjoy the Serengeti...
