If you have a beginning jazz ensemble, this work deserves your serious consideration. Based upon a traditional Native American song, this composition is a theme and variations tour de force! The simple theme is stated by all the winds with some Stravinsky-like punctuation in the rhythm section. This theme is then transformed through four key centers and a contrapuntal treatment before arriving at the shout chorus, in this case a beautiful reharmonization of the melody.
