Program Notes
To honor Native American cultures, Kevin Mixon has creatively scored Native American Homage. This work represents music typically heard at many modern-day powwows, commingling authentic sounds of nature and intertribal music. Contrasting lyrical and bravura sections authentically and respectfully present a substantive introduction to America's oldest known indigenous music.
