Abstract
Book 3: Intercultural concert ensembles Volume 5 is on modern African classical drumming as an instrument of specialization for contemporary concert performances.

The imperatives of advancing the indigenous philosophy and theory into global classical practices have informed the literary compositions demonstrating indigenous African compositional theory.
