Content and structure area
Scope and content
File consists of sketches, the manuscript score, and an annotated copy of the Canadian Music Centre score. John Beckwith composed this piece at the request of Prof. Brian Cherney for a concert at McGill University (2014). The text compiles images that appear on carved poles and translated names of longhouses in a former Haida village on the east coast of Tanu Island in southern Haida Gwaii, sourced from George F. MacDonald's book Haida Monumental Art: Villages of Queen Charlotte Islands (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1983). The vocalist also performs on drum.
