...'synoptic and deliberately Pan-African which brings a selection of choral music cultivated by different ethnic and linguistic groups together in one volume... promoting understanding and appreciation of the integrity of the artistic dimension of African music..."  – Foreword by J. H. Kwabena Nketia, Emeritus Professor, University of Ghana, Legon-Accra, Ghana

"Now here's a really interesting book ... And boy is it stimulating ... Many of the arrangements or transcriptions are by Onovwerosuoke himself, and are interesting and ear-opening ... A great collection for doing something different with your choir or, even better, to take to a workshop to work on properly and in depth..."
Jonathan Wikeley, Music Teacher
