Kokopeli Op. 43

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.
