(First performance)
Michael Moerane. a pure Basuto of the Bantu race, started as a teacher of African children but soon decided on a musical career. His aim was to write down the songs and dances of his own people, and because he was remote from musical centres he had to rely on his own initiative to acquire the rudiments of musical technique. He had never seen or heard a European orchestra. It was in the kraals of Basutoland that he first attempted a symphonic composition, in order to obtain his B.Mus. During his studies in the Music Department of Rhodes University College Grahamstown. he wrote his symphonic poem ' My Country,' which was the first European score to be written by a Basuto.
