Papagena Press presents 'Canyon Shadows' for flute, Native American flute, and percussion, written by Katherine Hoover.

Inspired in large part by the Grand Canyon of the American Southwest, Hoover envisioned an ancient time when natives first came across this geological wonder. For this vision, she sought to combine a Native flute with the modern silver flute, native music with 'western' music, and bringing forth natural sounds through music notation. From Hoover's notes: 'In my mind's eye I saw a band of native ancestors searching for a home, finding a canyon and moving in. In the third movement their calls echo across the canyon. There is a celebration, and the piece ends with dusk settling in, with chirps and murmurs, bats, and memories.'
