Chaco (2012)
for solo flute

Live Performance by Dr. Dawn Grapes 
Colorado State University 12/06/2013
MIDI Demo Track

Chaco Canyon is a sometimes barren, but always beautiful spot in the desert southwest. The Chacoan people lived for 300 years starting in the 800’s, during which time they built great multiple-story stone buildings, witnessed a supernova in the year 1054, built hundreds of kilometers of roads, and were the center of culture and trade. And then they disappeared.
