GISHORA

for flute or piccolo and 7 African drums



The original version was written for TRUMPET AND PERCUSSION, a commission of the Flemish radio KLARA in 2009, for the ART FOR LIFE-action. This version was commissioned by Sax & Stix with premiere at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam in March 2012.

The name GISHORA (hill) refers to a place in Burundi where sacred drums are kept.

In 2012 Henderickx made a version for SOPRANO SAX AND PERCUSSION and in 2019 this version for piccolo and percussion.
