HOW A ZULU WRITES SONGS
HARRIS INSTRUMENTAL NUMBERS
His System of Composing Still Followed by
Many of the Song Writers on Broadway
A Zulu who feels able and inclined to "make"
a song begins by composing one or more sen-
tences appropriate to some event or sentiment
that appeals to his mind and heart. He hums
these sentences to himself and goes on to
change or improve the air until it pleases him.
If he meets a friend he rehearses the song and
invites criticism of his composition. The friend
perhaps suggests some improvement in words
or air or adds another sentence. In this way
a song is passed on and may ultimately become
the property of the tribe.
