Flute music inspired by Native American night chants and lullabies. Moods evolve from upbeat to reflective using multiple flutes, ceremonial percussion instruments, Yaqui-style harp and synthesizer. Musical influences include the Native peoples of the Great Plains as well as Mexico, Central America and South America. For all ages.
