The composition Landscape Changing, by Andy Teirstein,
is a work for choir and orchestra with a Western/cowboy theme
and includes Native American stories and cowboy poetry. As
part of the work's premiere, Native American speaker Dayton
Edmonds recited "Grandmother Turtle." A member of the
Caddo Indian tribe, Edmonds is an exceptional storyteller
who strives to give a voice to the voiceless. Also woven into
the composition was a poem written and recited by cowboy poet
Paul Steuerman.
