Description:

Louis Wayne Ballard â?? also known as â??Honganozheâ?, which means â??Stands with Eaglesâ? in the Quapaw language â?? was the first indigenous North American composer of art music, and his extensive knowledge of the music, dance and mythology of this culture informed his compositions. Ballardâ??s style was eclectic, embracing tonal and twelve-tone elements, and the selected pieces presented here reflect the unique variety of his achievement. This album of world premiere recordings features his third ballet, The Four Moons, which embodies a rich cache of classic dances, and the Fantasy Aborigine No. 3 â??Kokopelliâ? with its battery of unique percussive instruments. - AND OTHER WORKS
