Songs of the Journey: Four Songs of the Anishinaabe

Songs of the Journey: Four Songs of the Anishinaabe

By Philip Rice

Performed by the Central Michigan University Concert Choir
Director: Dr. Nina Nash Roberston
Piano: Sara Buelow
Drum: Nathan Masterson


Songs of the Journey is a cycle of four traditional songs of the Ojibwe (Chippewa) people. Ethnomusicologist Frances Densmore collected hundreds of traditional Ojibwe melodies near the beginning of the 20th century, and I chose four of them as the themes for a set of contemporary choral pieces, which portray the four cycles of life in the Ojibwe medicine wheel. Each song depicts a different season, a different time of day, and a different stage of human development.

Could you be emotionally detached at work and not know it? Sure, if you’re detached. There’s a party in your head and you’re not invited. slapCompany
