The Cherokee nation had a vibrant culture for many centuries in what is now the southeastern United States. The beginning and ending sections of this piece are based on a folk song that is commonly referred to as Cherokee Morning Song. Kevin Mixon's piece is beautiful, lush, and reverent to the original Cherokee song while using all of the colors of the modern concert band to full effect. This piece will make your developing band sound wonderful.
