Spontaneous Beings by Brian Balmages (FJH)
Grade 3
Publisher: FJH Music Company
Based on oral history of the Anishinaabeg, this piece draws its name from Ojibwe historian Basil Johnston, who offered the literal translation of the name as “Spontaneous Beings.” Based on authentic folk music and steeped in tradition, the piece relies heavily on traditional percussion instruments (with optional substitutes suggested). Very approachable, yet extremely powerful.
