Earth and the Great Weather
Composer:John Luther Adams
Librettist:Adeline Peter RaboffDoreen SimmondsJames NageakJohn Luther AdamsLincoln Tritt
Synopsis
Earth and the Great Weather is a journey through the physical, cultural, and spiritual landscapes of the Arctic, in music, language, and sound. The text (in English, Iñupiaq, Gwich'in, and Latin) is composed of the names of places, plants, weather, and the seasons of the Arctic, as well as vocalise. Three drum quartets are interspersed throughout the work and are inspired by the elemental power of natural forces in the Arctic and by the ecstatic energy of Alaska Native drumming and dancing.
