African Sanctus – The Sanctus Journey (1969-73)

The Sanctus journey, from the Mediterranean to Lake Victoria and from the
mountains of West Sudan to the Red Sea, became the framework of the
composition - a symbolic cross-shaped pilgrimage. Armed with one rucksack
and a stereo tape recorder, Fanshawe succeeded in recording music from
well over fifty tribes, achieving such a close rapport with many local
communities that they gave permission for their performances to be specially
recorded. The African Sanctus journeys were sponsored by the Ralph
Vaughan Williams Trust and the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust.
