Eskimos op. 64

Amy Beach's "Eskimos", Opus 64, composed in 1907 was written originally for Piano Solo and is set in four descriptive vignettes:

• Arctic Night
• The Returning Hunter
• Exiles
• With Dog-Teams

Beach used melodies from eleven Inuit songs she discovered from an early recording and set them to "European" harmonies. The four movement piece totals about ten minutes of music. Mr. Sauer's arrangement of this unique music is playable by moderately advanced performers.
