AYE BAJE (The World Decays)

Aye Bajẹ Tan (“The World Decays”) is a Yoruba art-music composition for solo soprano and piano that reflects on contemporary moral decline and social disintegration. Set in B-flat major and cast in a 6/8 compound metre, the work employs a moderato tempo and monophonic vocal texture to evoke a chant-like introspection.
