Par BURNETTE SONNY. Cliff Palace Ghost Dance is the first movement from the 'Stone Suite,' arranged for Alto Flute and Piano. The 'Stone Suite' is a four movement work for solo flute and flute choir, commissioned by Dr. Chris Potter, in which the soloist is to perform on a different flute for each movement. This work is inspired by the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park, located in southwest Colorado. The use of drums and rattles, as well as vocalizations based on Native American texts (in the flute choir version), is meant to capture the spirit of this ghost dance, which was performed in order to bring the buffalo back to life./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière Alto et Piano

Early-Intermediate/Intermediate Composer Showcase-Impressionistic sonorities blend with hints of Native American flute melodies in this beautiful collection of six solos for the early-intermediate/intermediate-level pianist. Like the images they portray the pieces are filledwith contrast: soaring lyrical melodies interspersed with low earthy motives in open fifths; traditional rhythmic patterns juxtaposed with mixed meters; playful dance-like themes offset by the dark atonal timbres of hauntingspirits. Each solo stands alone but the entire book can also be played in recital as a suite with tempos that alternate in a pleasing way to create a tightly woven finely detailed desert landscape. detailed desert landscape.Level: Early-Intermediate/Intermediate (Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Levels 4-5); Range: full grand staff and leger lines; Meters: 2/2 3/4 4/4 7/8; Technical Features: broken chordaccompaniments some double-note intervals in both hands cross-hand patterns interlocked hand position legato pedal pedal points multiple textures.

Inspired by the Arikara (uh-RIK-a-RAH) tribe of Native Americans based in North Dakota this work by James Meredith is an evocative piece without portraying any specific event or story. Opening with a plaintive flute solo supported by an exotic percussion backdrop the piece features a chorale-like statement in the winds before moving to the faster and more rhythmic main section. Mixing early American imagery with striking dissonances this is an effective and unique offering with limited technical demands.
