[.ca] Tribal Winds: Music From Native American Flutes

relaxing and meditative:
Wonderful relaxing music. Excellent when used for at home spa. Assists with meditation and brings onself closer to their spirituality. Not to mention calming to cats.

Trible Winds:
This music is great. The best so far. I use it to metatate. I can close my eyes and picture my great-grand father as a child on the reservation and I can see a happy child in the yeay 1866.There isn't much out there to put me in a space of peace.

Maybe I just didn't get it...:
Well, its a lot of flute music. Not much else. Yet another example of tribal music at its inaccessible best.

A gorgeous tribute to the Native American flute:
I have always listened to First Nations music and from the very beginning was captivated by the Native American flute. Its sound was nature itself; a combination of a soaring hawk, the wind whispering through night pines and birches, the melancholy cry of the loon, the lone wolf howling at the moon. Various styles, phrasings, techniques, and types of flutes are used here. I have just recently started playing the Native American flute, and listening to songs from "Tribal Winds" gave me ideas on where to start with my own compositions and gave me new tunes to practice. This collection perfectly demonstrates the various voices and emotions that a skilled flautist can bring to the music. "Tribal Winds" captures that breathless moment as the artist puts the silent flute to his lips and then spins the first notes of the tune. It is the story of the land, a story of sorrow and triumph. If you seek peace in your life, this music can help you along your journey.

"THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL COME TO YOU...":
You must be quiet to understand the beauty in this Treasure. Quiet inside yourself. Every inch of you, every cell, every fiber of your being. I have owned this a long time and haven't fully appreciated it until now. Why? Because I wasn't truly listening. To listen you must slow down, come to a stop, be calm and OPEN. Now and only now, can you Listen. Oh Yes. Eyes closed, mind empty of all thoughts and TRULY LISTENING... The music is very POWERFUL. Its power is so subtle that I didn't comprehend it at first. Now I do. The Indians deserve our respect. They are in touch with their Spirits. I leave you with a quote from "Wind In My Mind" which epitomizes the essence of TRIBAL WINDS: "I ONCE SAT ON A HILL AND AS I GAZED ACROSS THE LAND I HEARD A SONG ON THE WIND I TURNED AND WATCHED THE PRAIRIE GRASSES MOVE TO THE RHYTHM NOT JUST TO ONE SONG--BUT TO MANY AS I FOCUSED ON THE HORIZON I REALIZED I WAS HEARING THE SONGS OF ALL TIME I WAS LISTENING TO TRIBAL WINDS." Soar my friends. This will aid you in your journey. My Highest recommendation to the Seekers. TRIBAL WINDS is a FIND. SOARING HEART
