Kokopeli, the flute
player, was a great mahu,
or legendary hero of the
Hopi, and of other Native
Americans living in the
Southwestern area of the
United States. He is said
to have led the
migrations through the
mountains and deserts,
the sound of his flute
echoing through the great
canyons and cliffs. In
this piece I have tried
to capture some of this
sense of spaciousness,
and of the Hopi's deep
kinship with this land.
This piece has also been
influenced by Native
American flute songs and
sounds - Katherine
Hoover.
