Description
He Came Down is a traditional “call and response” song from Cameroon, which has been arranged for 2 or 3 octaves, or 3, 4, or 5 octaves, optional handchimes, and optional percussion. Give it an African feel by using djembes, caxixi, shekere, and gankoqui, or a Latin flavor with congas, bongos, maracas, and agogos. Techniques abound with mallets, mallet lifts, mallet rolls, martellato, martellato lifts, thumb damps, ring touches, and vibratos, making this a happy, joyful addition to the Christmas or general repertoire.
