A few of the recordings weren't used on African Sanctus itself, but were recorded on the same journeys through Africa, up and down the Nile through Egypt, Uganda, Sudan, and Kenya, in 1969 and 1975. The pieces here are all performed by the various native musicians, and were recorded by David Fanshawe as he traveled from village to village. With the inclusion of the environmental tracks and the exclusion of studio recordings, this becomes an ethnomusicologist's delight, as it paints Steven Feld's concept of a "sound environment" quite well.

Fanshawe: African Sanctus - 2. Kyrie "Call to Prayer", Cairo. The African Sanctus is a work that I have known of for many years but have only recently taken the time to get to know it. I did listen to the setting of the Lord's Prayer abou 20 years ago, which I confess that I found a bit twee. I have always been a bit confused as to where David Fanshawe fits into the tradition of 20th Century English music. The Lord's Prayer itself was itself subject to a ban by the BBC who did not consider it, with its accompaniment of electric guitars and drums and 'poppy' melodic style, to be a classical piece at all.
