    Songs of Earth, Water, Fire, and Sky
    By Robert W. Smith
    Item: 00-BD9856
    Series: Belwin Symphonic Band
    Format: Conductor Score & Parts
    Level: 5
    For centuries, music has played an integral part in the daily lives of Native Americans. From the ancient burial mounds of the Southeast to the cliff dwellings of the Southwest, Indian musical instruments and pictographs of ceremonial singing and dancing dating as early as 600 A.D. have been uncovered by archeologists. So begins Robert W. Smith's fascinating new symphonic work. Drawing upon authentic dances and chants as inspiration, this talented young American composer creates a musical presence of monumental proportions. Soaring!

    "Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

    Overall, I think this is pretty good and Robert did an excellent job. But what really concerns me is that (and I hate to be that guy) when does the snare drum come in. Because I can see that at the beginning of the score it says that there is a snare drum part for this. So, WHEN DOES THAT PART COME IN?
