Pueblo (Land of Ancient Peoples) by John Higgins

This impressive work by John Higgins is a descriptive essay for band, reflecting the mysteries of Native American peoples and their kinship with nature. The varied musical sections are subtitled: “Enchanted Mesa”; “Adobe Village”; “Ancient Voices”; and “Mother Earth, Father Sky.” The optional solo for recorder can be played by a solo flute or flute section.

Ah. Memories of a time long passed. I was but a wee lad, would have been about 4 years ago now. Played this song with my fellow percussionists and we played this song with amazing passion and excitement. Those were the days of grand band teachers and amazing enthusiasm. Such amazing hunger for music at such an early age. I feel old. 👴👴

I remember playing this for my All-County concert in the 7th grade. I am a senior now.

Ah grade nine... three years ago. I loved playing this one. It's awesome when you're on the drums because we put the speed up quite a bit and it was crazy and intense. Except we didn't have a recorder solo because my teacher had a vendetta against them. I think it was a clarinet that played the part or some other type of flute.

Played this in concert band on tenor sax 14 years ago. The intro was epic! Felt like you were back during that time.

This was one of my high school’s festival pieces last May in Toronto. It was so much fun to play on flute!

[paulaell]

I can't believe I found this music. I played it in Jr high over 20 years ago and had the recorder solo. We won our festival that year. I've thought about this piece ever since. It was one of my favourite pieces of music we ever played

[Evelyn_onfire]

we played this at our concert. By far my favorite song we played! Clarinet squad were you at?!!

[JustKayden_YT]

I first played this song when I first joined the band, and as a trumpet player, this was beautiful.

[TheGamersGuildYT]

Played this freshman year on Bass Clarinet. I’m 24 now. Have now idea why my brain dug up this random memory but I’m glad I decided to find this video. Major nostalgia.

This sound like it was written by Studio Gibbly! (They made Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and my Neighbor Totero)
