Message from the Nduna uses the row of five pitches that appear on my ‘Ex Libris’ sticker (image below). The row is transposed, inverted, combined in contrary motion, in a similar manner to a twelve-note row, and eventually the seven other pitches are added. Kurtág has composed pieces with cryptic titles like this, and after I was christened ‘Nduna’ by a journalist in 2003, Mokale Koapeng insisted “Once an Nduna, always an Nduna”.
