Abstract

Mɔbɔ Dawur (I will tell it to the world) is an SATB work of Newlove Annan, a Ghanaian prolific choral music composer and organist. In Annan’s Mɔbɔ Dawur, he explores varied choral compositional styles. In this paper the writers attempt to provide an analysis of Mɔbɔ Dawur using musical analytical parameters such as; scale, melody, vocal ranges, harmony, rhythm texture, form, compositional techniques, dynamics and text, to unravel the various compositional styles that have been utilized by the composer. The outcome of the paper is to provide an analytic presentation of a choral piece that utilizes varied compositional dimensions to serve as the basis for the study and composition of choral works.
