Kokopelli
– Anne McGinty

This well-known folk art figure of the Southwest comes to life in this sometimes delicate, sometimes explosive piece. Gently reflective as Kokopelli announces his arrival to the villagers carrying a pack filled with seeds, this one-movement tone poem juxtaposes the playful with a prayer for prosperity and a rousing, flirtatious adventure symbolizing the realization of dreams – passionate and a little raucous at times. This is a uniquely conceived, creatively scored and highly emotional work!
