Listen to Three Slow-Paced songs. As you listen, follow the Close Listening chart in WOM, p. 84. Notice how the three songs merge together, one into the next, and how the percussion ensemble accompanies with the polyrhythmic part demonstrated in CD 1:12. Notice the repetition of musical ideas (melodic phrases) and how the use of repetition (same alphabetical letter) and contrast (different alphabetical letter) gives different musical forms to the Three Slow-Paced songs. When and how do the three songs start?

Answer to Question 1

 (0:00-ca. 0:40) Agbekor Song 1 (fade in on song)
 (ca. 0:42ca. 2:01) Agbekor Song 2 starts with a solo male voice singing three ascending tones, each spaced four steps apart on Gbe  ko  viawo.
 (ca. 2:022:52) Agbekor Song 3 starts with the same solo male voice singing a  vu ma . . . up an ascending four-step interval, then immediately descending down a three-step interval.

Answer to Question 2

 An Ewe singers' intonation seems aimed at pitch areas rather than precise pitch points. Melodic motion contour usually conforms to the rise and fall of speech tones.
