flute & Kokopelli

Actually, we had got really interested in Kokopelli through the flute music piece "Kokopelli" by Katherine Hoover. Besides, Elizabeth Buck(Professor of Arizona Univ.) performed this music last year with flutehouse in Korea. It was so great story. So, how can we re-inform this attractive legends to Korean flutists and students? 

"There are many symbols in this work. The basic idea was that we are a part of everyone and everything. I included a white man, a black man, a native American, fish to represent the animal world, and Kachina figures to represent God beliefs. The beautiful snake represents and is a disguise for the evil in the world and I included kokopelli flute players to keep it soothed and under control. Every color is present in varying degrees in every section of the painting as curved lines to show the interconnection of all that is. I find that people often present a well-dressed image but there is so much going on inside, influences from everyone we have met and every belief we have."  -MtnWoman Silver-
