Cahokia - Jared Spears

Tribal sounds are unmistakable in representing this ancient Indian nation. The Cahokia were the prehistoric Indian civilization which built the impressive mounds in Illinois that still exist today. The music represents the images of war, peace, celebration, and mystery which the composer encountered as he wandered in the footsteps of the ancient ones. Images of this long-departed culture reappear in this highly descriptive music for young band.
