Tribal War Chant is based on authentic Native American war dances. These culturally symbolic dances consisted of human voices accompanied by drums, bells, and rattles. The thematic material is meaningfully staged over driving traditional rhythms with intense stylistic variations. Before a war, men danced to attain spirit and power; after a war, they danced to celebrate a victory. This exciting composition is a must on your next program. (4:00).

Written for the timpanist Philippe Serra, this work is reminiscent of North American Indian tribal dances. The pulsation - relating to the earth and the landscape and, naturally, also to the circle (a symbol itself for the points of the compass and the cycle of life) - sets the character of the music, which exploits the sonic possibilities of the instrument as well as the evocative force of the pulsing beat itself on the timpani.
