A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book is a summation of R. Carlos Nakai's years as an educator, performer and student of the Native American flute. Part One includes discussions on tunings, fingerings, performance technique, tablature, style, history, standard notation, traditional ornaments plus a section on the care and maintenance of the flute. Part Two includes sixteen transcriptions of songs from Nakai's recordings Changes, Earth Spirit, Emergence, Journeys, Cycles and Winter Dreams plus two DeMars compositions, 'The Colors Fall' (from Spirit Horses) and 'Crow Wing' (from Native Tapestry). Part Three is an analysis of Nakai's role in Native American culture as a recording artist and performer by ethnomusicologist David P McAllester. More than a performance guide, this book is an important source on the Native American flute and a concise review of the career and artistry of one of the most important ethnic artists in America.

Biographie de l'auteur :

R. Carlos Nakai has explored and developed the relationship between established and new musical ideas for the Native American wooden flute. Classically trained on the trumpet, Nakai has nevertheless always been involved in the music and culture of his Navajo people. He has become accomplished on the siyotanka, the Lakota name for the wooden flute. Nakai has studied and lived with many different Native American tribes, adapting their musical traditions to his own style. He represented the Native Americans at the Magic Flute Festival in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has performed at galleries, schools, museums and festivals. A visual artist and teacher, Nakai works with the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
