Raven (The Trickster)

Description

From a song shared by Squamish First Nation artist and performer Bob Baker, comes this distinctive work for concert band shaped by Robert Buckley that will allow your students to experience the music of one of North America’s First Peoples. Raven flows from a playful pentatonic melody and uses falloffs to imitate the original vocal style of the Eagle Song Dancers.
