Dennis Alexander's New Mexico: Land of Enchantment is a journey through the state's historic Spanish past, its Native American influences, and one of its most beautiful natural landmarks, the Sandia Mountains. The suite begins with Popé's Rebellion, a musical depiction of the famous Pueblo Revolt of 1680. It features a majestic introduction followed by a fast and agitated main theme in 7/8 meter. The second movement, Kokopelli Magic, uses playful rhythms and articulations to capture the personality of the trickster god, Kokopelli. Sunset on the Sandias, the final movement, is a lyrical display of the beautiful colors that fall on this natural landmark at sunset. Popé's Rebellion and Sunset on the Sandias are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.

These compositions offer a unique and enjoyable musical experience. The composer's choice of harmonies, keys and rhythms, to my ear, reflect the spirit of New Mexico's Native American culture and history.
