Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man. Ringing out across school playgrounds for decades, this nursery rhyme has been accompanied by the sound of many peoples first musical instrument, the clapping of hands! Jennifer Lucy Allan delves into this world of body percussion with a traditional chant from the Selk'nam people of Patagonia, music from Tuareg musician Idassane Wallet Mohamed and minimalist composer Steve Reich鈥檚 1972 piece Clapping Music, written for two performers and performed entirely by clapping.
