Gotta Go

We often find ourselves saying phrases such as “Hurry up!” and “Oh no, I forgot my lunch!” as we rush to get out the door. I’m sure we’re not unique! “Gotta Go” is a Converging Song, or an African-style Cyclical Song. The form originated in Africa. Each part is independent, with its own melody, rhythm, lyrics and entry point. All the parts converge on one word or a short phrase. The result is an interesting, dynamic piece that is continually coming together and then breaking apart.
