A concert centerpiece, this major work from James Curnow explores the spiritual perspectives of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest in North America. The five movements investigate the cosmos and its four worlds; with such complete contrasts as “The Undersea World” and the ceremonial dance in “The Mortal World,” an authentic First Nations melody in “The Spirit World” and the ethos of “The Sky World,” the wonders are many.
