In the 1980s I read Dee Brown's gripping non-fiction book, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee (1970). His words motivated me to write this short sonata.

Some of the music is based upon two of the themes that Brown's book includes as illustrations of American Indian culture. Both themes are from the Bureau of American Enthnology Collection: "Prancing They Come", and "Sun Dance Chant". The former theme and another of my own are interwoven in a fughetta sectiion.

In this work, I aimed to merge Native American music with a traditional European style of composing.

I was fortunate to witness the premiere performance of this sonata by Carl Banner, Washington Musica Viva, in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 2004.

In 2005 it appeared in the album Solitando, performed and recorded by Mariano Castro in Buenos Aires. The audio sample is the first minute of this recording.
