Moving Within The Circle, 2nd Ed.

Native American Music and Dance

In the fifteen years since the release of the first edition of Moving Within The Circle, Burton - himself part Choctaw - has continued his exploration of contemporary Native American music, adding a wealth of new material to an already impressive collection of traditional and recently created music.

The 36 songs and dances in this all-new edition are in active use in Native communities and were taught directly to the author by members of the Apache, Haliwa-Saponi, Lakota, Oneida, Seneca, and Zuni tribes, to name just a few. Selections for guided listening were contributed by numerous well-known contemporary recording artists.

Moving Within The Circle offers a unique opportunity for educators to experience a wide variety of styles and genres ranging from traditional cedar flute melodies to a concert recording of a hard-driving rock anthem.

The optional set of 20 full color slides with teacher's guide includes photos of the countryside, pow-wows, instruments, and individuals.
