Introduction:
This piece of music is about home and place. It is unusual because there are no instruments used – only voices and what we call ‘body percussion’! Children were asked to think about their home and the place where they live and send in a poem. These poems were linked together to make the piece of music.

While you listen to it, look out for the different types of body percussion that the children use.
When there is singing and no instruments, it’s called ‘a cappella’
