Alan Carter. Folio. Yps. Set of Score and Parts. 8+2+4+4+2+2+5+5+2+2+4+4+4+3+3+2+3+2+1+1+6+4+20 pages. Duration 3 minutes, 35 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #YPS230. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YPS230). ISBN 9781491158142. UPC: 680160916740. 9 x 12 inches. The Okefenokee Swamp is slated as one of the seven natural wonders of Georgia. The name has two different meanings: first being bubbling waters, and the second meaning Land of Trembling Earth, so named because the peat bog (land) moves when you walk on it, because it is actually floating on water. Although the Oconi are the earliest known inhabitants, this piece is written to honor the Chehaw Indians who gave the swamp its name. The beginning of the piece depicts the grandeur of the over 438,000 acre swamp (one of the five largest swamps in the world). The middle section includes a flute solo that depicts the life of the early inhabitants. For a more authentic portrayal, the use of a recorder, especially an alto recorder should be used. The piece ends with a spirited dance, beginning with the thunderous roll of the timpani and bass drums.
