Legend
of 10,000 Lakes (2000) - Legend of 10,000 Lakes musically depicts
the history of Minnesota. The piece opens with a broad theme in
the low instruments that represents the natural landscape. This
soon develops into a hymn-like section representing the majesty
of this great land. The Allegro section represents the struggles
between native and outside cultures for control of this land. The
Moderato section is a folk dance that leads into a religious hymn
of thanks. The Allegro section returns at the end to remind us
that no one controls the land, as the land belongs to everyone
and should be revered, respected, and protected for future
generations. Duration 4:00 Grade 2-3 Score and parts $25.00
