FROM THE SKY: Stories in Song from Native North America...
... is a compilation of 13 captivating songs from diverse Native American traditions. Sung beautifully in Native languages, these songs combine the vocal talents of Georgia Wettlin-Larsen with the sounds of nature – thunder, water, birds – to tell enchanting stories. Many of these songs echo the voices of vivid animal characters: Blue Jay, the Prairie Dog People, Old Crawfish Woman. Others capture small but meaningful moments that all listeners will recognize from their own lives, from children at play to the parting of loved ones.
Drawing from ancient traditions and from a more recent renaissance of Native identity, these songs convey the variety of Native experience but strike the common chord of the human spirit. From comical songs for play to soothing lullabies, From the Sky progresses as the best day progresses: one surprising moment after another, in tune with the rhythms of nature. From the Sky will introduce listeners to a range of very human emotions, to an attitude of harmony with the natural world, and to the richness of Native culture.
