In the turmoil around you, take time to pause and connect to the loving source within us all.
Let this music from Carol Nakai calm your mind and feed your soul.
Thank you Lou for this Middle Ground Pause today. š
Ā This collection of solo flute pieces from Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai is an evocative delight. The album consists of mostly original material, from the composition āCanyon Reverie,ā to the improvisational āIn Media Res,ā to āAthabascan Song,ā an arrangement of a traditional song. The latter in particular stands out, with a faster rhythm and more lilting melody than most of the other pieces. Thereās also āAncient Dreams,ā performed on a bone whistle; the instrument almost exceeds the upper range of human hearing, and Nakai occasionally sounds like heās imitating birdcalls. A classically trained musician, Nakai blends musical traditions to create a whole that reminds one, on occasion, of Japanese shakuhachi music.
This album best captures the timeless serenity of the solo Native American flute. R. Carlos Nakaiās music speaks to the spirit with a simplicity that transcends place and time. Includes original compositions, traditional Athabascan and Omaha melodies.

Thank you for this, Val. I was introduced to R. Carlos Nakai by a Native American Indian federal executive that I was honored to work with at the Federal Executive Institute about ten years ago. It so resonated that I cried as I listened.
