ABELENGRO: A CONTEMPORARY ART MUSIC COMPOSITION BASED ON ABELE GENRE

Abstract The study adopts the idea of music acculturation through fieldwork to consciously document the elements of the Abele music of the Yeji people of the Brong-Ahafo Region and fusing it with the Western compositional techniques to create a relatively atonal programmed music of the African and more especially the Yeji tradition. The study was conducted among the people of Yeji traditional area in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. It adopted creative ethnomusicology principles and the syncretic approach to create a hybrid novelty called Abelengro. It is concluded that, we have rich sources to create works of our own (African descent). It also highlights the analysis of the novelty created thereby building a platform for the possibility of future research into other musical forms in traditional music.
