Publisher Desc.  iEbony Gorgei is an inspiration of the two trips to West Africa that Mr. Robinson took his youth orchestra students. Vendors in the towns sold handcrafted wood carvings. Some of the carvings were made of high-quality wood called, iebony.i A lot of the high-quality furniture is made of ebony. There was a town in Ghana that specialized in bedroom, living room, and dining room furniture. It lined the streets for all to see for those wishing to purchase some. The quality was so great that in the U.S. this furniture would be sold in the high-end department stores (like Macyis) and other stores. Imagine iEbony Gorgei being a large forest (rolling hills of forestry) full of trees growing ebony wood. Note: The 3rd violin part can be used in absence of violas or if there are not enough of them to balance the orchestra. The double bass part could be played by a cellist or two (or more) especially if there is a shortage of basses.
