  A Superior Suite  (Levels 2 - 3.5)   

This is a 4-movement suite with the following titles:

I - Lake Keweenaw, II Anishinaabe Welcome, III Ahh! Les Voyageurs, IV - Superior

Presented in chronological format, the suite reflects the Lake Superior Basin evolving from a giant ice sheet 12,600 years ago to its present day form:  

1- Lake Keweenaw is performed in darkness with natural instruments*. 

2- Anishinaabe Welcome is based on an Anishnabek honour song. Strict adherence to Anishnabek traditions are compulsory on the grandfather drum. An impressive introductory welcome written by a native of the region is included. An experienced native dancer can be accommodated during performance of this piece. Performance of this movement has considerable emotional impact on audiences.

3- Ahh! Les Voyageurs!, a round complete with a complaining duck, disturbed by the approaching canoe.

4 - Superior  - a majestic theme reflecting the vastness, power, and sheer beauty of the world's largest freshwater lake by area.
