Salute to the original American warriors
















For this Vets Day, two pieces by the "Indianist" composer Charles Sanford Skilton (1868-1941). These are from a 78 rpm reissue (or, rather, later issue) of a 1929 Victor release, and it's in way better shape than my previous, original issue copy. Incredible performances, incredible pieces--the Victor Concert Orch., directed by Rosario Bourdon, with War Dance (Cheyenne) (from Suite Primeval) and Shawnee Indian Hunting Dance. Here's to the original American warriors:


Victor Concert Orchestra, directed by Rosario Bourdon, 1929. From Victor 22144.

Luis,

Something seems to be wrong with Box.net, so I switched to another storage spot. It should be working now.

Great stuff! I'd previously only heard these on solo piano, never the orchestrated versions. Thanks for posting these, Lee! And thanks too for your service.
