A contemporary sounding rock tune that sounds much more difficult than it is. Includes a very well written, yet surprisingly easy, keyboard part that will sound great when performed on an electric piano or synthesizer and an optional auxillary percussion part that utilizes wind chimes, shaker and cowbell to great effect. An exceptional chart for young bands on their way up.

In this beautiful showcase for alto saxophone, the overall performance can be loose but must convey great warmth. Brass section volume during background passages should be kept to a minimum. The pyramids in the introduction and at measure 37 will need to be more pronounced.

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.
