Impressions of the Wa-Wan Ceremony of the Omahas represents an American Indian ritual so revered that warring tribes would lay down their arms to let the procession pass. The experimental Polytonal Studies pit two different keys against each other, exploiting the attraction of opposites to generate unusual harmonies and melodies.This CD marks the 140th anniversary of Farwell's birth and the 60th of his death and includes a number of first recordings.The ArtistLisa Cheryl Thomas, who holds a doctorate from the University of North Texas, is ideally placed to record Farwell's 'Indianist' music: she is herself of Native American stock, counting members of the Cherokee, Blackfoot and Sioux tribes among her ancestors.\u003cp\u003eThe Vale of Enitharmon, Op. 91\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReceiving the Messenger: Slowly and Quietly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearing the Village: Moderately\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong of Approach: Moderately, With Breadth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaying Down the Pipes: Very Broadly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaising the Pipes: Lightly, With Motion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvocation: With Dignity, Slowly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong of Peace: Peacefully\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoral: Broadly, With Religious Feeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 1 in C Major\/G Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 2 in G Major\/C Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 3 in C Major\/A Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 4 in a Flat Major\/C Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 5 in G Flat Major\/A Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 6 in C Major\/B Major, 'Sea Picture'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 7 in C Major\/D Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 8 in C Major\/E Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 9 in G Major\/D Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 10 in D Major\/B Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 11 in F Major\/E Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 34 in E Flat Major\/E Flat Minor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55149696319873,"sku":"750690","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5122x8qbxlL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767847644","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/750690","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
