What an exotic composition! This evocative work musically depicts the legendary Etowah Indian ceremony of the chief priest welcoming the sun. Opening with a recorder or flute solo, the intriguing harmonies build and layer together for a fascinating effect. This colorful and contemplative piece is multicultural in concept and requires a general flexibility in tempo that will develop your band's skill in phrasing and expression. Bands at the Easy level will have a fine challenge in rehearsing the piece, and bands at the Medium Easy level will really be able to develop the extensive musicality of the piece. Dramatic!
