fl
"Second Potawatomie Legends for solo flute is but one of Luening’s many compositions featuring the flute. This particular work highlights the unique longtime connection Luening felt to members of the Native American Potowatomi tribe who were his neighbors growing up on his parent’s farm in Kenosha near Milwaukee. Melodies of the Potowatomi’s songs stayed with him for many decades before some of them eventually found their way in two of his compositions, Potowatomi Legends for orchestra and tonight’s suite of unaccompanied flute pieces. In 1995, Luening was induced as a member of the Potowatomi tribe in a ceremony at his home on Riverside Drive in Manhattan."
