Drums of Daruma - William Himes

Drums of the Saamis - Samuel R. Hazo

Drums of the Saamis was commissioned by the Medicine Hat Concert Band Society of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The piece chronicles the merger of the First Nation (first natives) and modern Albertan cultures.The opening tribal drums followed by the haunting melody simulating the traditional wooden flute comprise two themes that are the foundation for the entire piece. Both elements are developed, varied and enhanced throughout as the listener senses the increasing influence of modern day Alberta through the use of modern sounding chords and rhythms.By the end, the marriage of the old and the new is complete. This powerful work closesas it began; a restatement of themes representing the musical and historical foundation of the region. Dur: 5:00
