Program Notes
The sounds of Native American tribes are quite evident in this evocative work. Quiet percussion are featured in the quiet and brief introduction, before the quickly moving dance-like material takes over. Bold and aggressive, the music relays all the excitement and energy of the rituals and ceremonies of this fascinating culture.
