Under The Stars Songbook - Complete song transcriptions from the album, for Solo Native American Style Flute
Virtually every culture on earth tells legends inspired by the moon, stars and planets. Many surmised (as we now know to be true) that our planet and everything on it, was at one time in the heart of a star. This songbook contains complete transcriptions of all twelve improvised songs on Joanne Lazzaro's 2015 solo Native American flute album Under The Stars plus the two most popular songs from the follow-up EP Under The Stars, Too!, set in NakaiTab* notation. Each song is based on, or inspired by, the star legends of various Native North American tribes; the songbook also includes background information and performance notes for each song, including detailed instructions for playing Amazing Grace - Trail of Tears on a double (harmony) flute.
The album's story begins at sunset, with the appearance of the evening star, and ends at sunrise, with the singing of birds. The songs are presented in album track order, and can be played as a one-hour complete set (if desired): Evening Star Song, Sky Chief, Medicine Wheel, Moon Dances with New Star, Giant Cactus-Gathering Hook, Path of the Departed Souls, Bear Who Wanted a Mango, Rabbit Tracks, Spirits of the Long-Eyes, Amazing Grace - Trail of Tears, Zuni Sunrise (extended version), Lark Who Sang His Song to The Sun Every Morning; plus Eye of the Creator and Condor (from Under The Stars, Too!).
All songs composed by Joanne Lazzaro, except Amazing Grace, and Zuni Sunrise, which are improvised arrangements of traditional songs.
* Note - NakaiTab notation can also be read by any "C" instrument, including classical flute, violin, oboe, recorder, etc.
