Title: Performing Relationships in Central Cameroonian Liturgical Music
 
Byron Dueck, Open University
 
Drawing on research conducted with Kisito Essele between 2017 and 2019, this talk looks at Catholic liturgical music in indigenous idioms in central Cameroon. A Sanctus by composer Jean André Yebnoun Ngann is the basis for a discussion of how relationships of deference and authority are mediated by the sounding materials of music, by talk about that music, and by the interactions that allow the music making to occur. Reflection on performances of the Sanctus further reveals how contemporary Cameroonian music articulates relationships shaped not only by colonialism and Christianisation but by older ways of leading and following too.
