Afrikosmos link text is a collection of 75 piano pieces by the South African composer Michael Blake, composed between 2015 and 2020. Afrikosmos is modelled on Mikrokosmos by the Hungarian modernist composer Béla Bartók, sharing its basic concept of a progressive approach from easy pieces to virtuoso concert works, over the course of six volumes of music. While Bartók's pieces draw their material from the folk music of Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia, Michael Blake's pieces draw theirs from the traditional music of sub-Saharan Africa[1], often in rhythmic cycles. For examples, he draws on xylophone music from Uganda and Mozambique, mbira music from Zimbabwe, panpipe music from Venda, Xhosa music for the Uhadi musical bow, African choral music, popular styles such as mbaqanga, goema, and boeremusiek, flute music from the Ituri Rain Forest, lesiba music from Lesotho, and African birdsong. A selection of pieces has been arranged as Six Africosms for brass quintet, and another group as Afrikosmos Suite for organ.
