- Description: The Chibvelani bow was strung with Ilala palm leaf and the player used all four fingers of the left hand to stop the string and not the more usual one or two, hence the more interesting meloduc possibilities. The bow is resonated in the open mouth, the palm leaf passing between, but not touching, the parted lips. The musical principal is the same as that of the Jews Harp, a vibrating medium suspended in front of the mouth cavity, the pitch of the notes being controlled by altering the shape of the mouth and throat. The performer is virtually singing silently. "I am weeping because my wife has left me though I still loved her." In this song, the singer says who he is, where he is, and the name of his chief, as well as other remarks. He continued his first song with additional verses in his third item. Tune on Chitende stressed bow.

Hi is frequently called upon from all over Chopiland to compose new tunes for the Timbila orchestras, like the famous Katini wa Nyamombe Zavala, who died in 1948. This Mzeno was played in the absence of the composer. Chambini was already an outstanding player and composer of promise and by 1963 was leading performer of the Zavala district. His compositions lack the clarity of melody of either Katini or Komukomu, but are much appreciated by Chopi players. Orchestral dance with Timbila xylophones.

Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively.

- Description: This piece is notable for a solo passage towards the end by Chiponi, at 1m. 45s. to 1m. 55s., when he repeats his solo introduction. This is a new device to me and it emphasises the fact that individual Chopi musicians are not afraid to make innovations. Orchestral dance with 14 Timbila xylophones - 2 Chilanzane (Treble), 8 Sange (Alto), 1 Doli (Tenor), 1 Debiinda (Bass), 2 Gulu (Double Bass).

- Description: This is the first Chopi Ngodo ever recorded and published. It is described in my book "Chopi Muscians" Oxford University Press. The recordings were taken on glass based acetate discs in November 1943 and copied onto tape in October 1963. With the exception of a few verses omitted from one or two of the lyrics this version, performed away from home in the broadcasting studios of SABC Durban, Natal, is the same as a village performance but without the dancers. The players themselves sang all the words which are normally sung by the dancers. As there were no dance routines to be completed during the performance, each item is rather shorter than it would have been in the home village. With these minor exceptions the Ngodo is the complete work; all of it the composition of its leader Katini, a leading figure in Chopi music for 40 years. He died in 1948 about 60 years old. Orchestral dance with six Timbila xylophones.
