pulsing beat and the drum-like accompaniment in
this energized arrangement of a Native American
folk song is absolutely infectious! Pentatonic
melodies, open intervals, echoing sections, and
rhythmic syllables set up an authentic texture in this
piece. Two short legato interludes provide a creative
contrast. This is an outstanding choice for young,
developing men's choruses.
