Description:
The Sioux Indians, or Dakota as they now prefer, lived and prospered in the lake region around Buffalo, Minnesota for over 300 years. Buffalo Dances, honors the natural beauty, native-American heritage, and the modern prosperity of buffalo. Beginning with a majestic fanfare, the piece continues with flowing, native-American inspired melodies over driving rhythmic figures. The center of the piece is comprised of a simple, original hymn song reflecting on the natural beauty of the region. Accompanied by the sounds of native-American dance, the intensity returns. Listen carefully to the sound of the buffalo amid the festive atmosphere before the return of the concluding fanfare.
