Description / content note
-
This group is the Chief's own choir. The chief Bathoen has always been interested in music and has composed several songs for choirs. He possesses a grand piano himself and keeps up a choir at his home, Kanye. He frequently takes his choir by lorry and car around the country to give concerts elsewhere. His style of composition reflects the insititutional type of song which has been popular among students for several years employing the usual common chords. Interest in the folk music of the country having been discouraged by their teachers as socially inferior, this style of singing was intended to take its place among the 'educated'. Concert song.
