Product Description

Inspired by the historic event commonly known as The Trail of Tears, the US government's forcible removal of eastern Indian tribes to Oklahoma Territory and other points west in the 1800s. Many thousands of Indians perished during the grueling trip. My piece doesn't attempt to mimic Indian music as such, but alternates between a slow, haunting tune and violent, wrenching passages. This atonal music is not for the squeamish.
