A Chronological Listing of Musical Works
on American indian Subjects,
Composed Since 1608
Michael V. Pisani, Vassar College, 2006
[This page
designed in Microsoft Word and functions best in Internet Explorer]
This document is meant to accompany the book Imagining Native
America in Music (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2005). This list, begun in 1993, should be
understood as a work in progress.
It includes principally those works that have taken Indian subjects from
the areas that are now the United States and Canada and, to some degree,
musical portraits of Middle- and South-American native peoples such as the
Aztecs or Incas. Works have been
entered by year of composition or by year of first performance. Therefore, some composers names are likely
to occur several times. To find
all entries by any single composer, you may wish to refer to the index at the
end of this list. Composers
dates, when known, are given at the first citation only. A bullet () within an entry serves
one of two functions: 1) it indicates more than one work by that composer in
the same year, or 2) it identifies undated (and unperformed) works. In the latter case, such works are
included with the composers first entries. A year in brackets ([ ]) indicates an estimated date of
composition.
While I may not be able to attend to a regular updating, I am
interested in glaring omissions or any relevant new works. So please feel free to send them to me
at mipisani@vassar.edu,
and Ill see what I can do about including them.
What This List Does Not
Contain
This
list does not include the many musical settings of Percy Bysshe Shelleys poem Indian
Serenade,
which is an East Indian subject.
Also, it does not contain Apache dances or songs associated with the
French artistic Socit des Apaches in the early 20th century, for example, Ccile
Chaminades Apache Dance or Richard Rodgerss The Poor Apache (from the 1932 film
musical Love Me Tonight). A study of that
genre demonstrates that the Apaches in this case have lost any meaningful
connection to the North American tribe. Furthermore, this list does not include folk tunes of unknown
and untraceable origin, such as Lost Indian. Finally, it does not contain musical references to native
America in film, which could easily constitute yet another list this size and
would still be woefully incomplete.

Please note: While I have used the above sources in the
preparation of this listas well as many others not cited herethe list itself
is not meant to be a complete reference to locations. Hence, the citation of sources is inconsistent. Some works can be found in many
libraries. When the source is a
manuscript, I have made every effort to indicate its location, if known. Other major library collections
consulted were the Bancroft Library (Berkeley, CA), the Newberry Library
(Chicago), and the Boston Public Library, as well as the Minnesota, Iowa,
Oklahoma, Missouri, and Wyoming Historical Societies.
I wish to thank James Kimball of Geneseo, New York, whose
private sheet music collection of Indian Songs inspired this list, and Paul
Charosh for sharing of his great knowledge of American popular song. I would also like to thank Eli Spindel
for his assistance in the editing process.

down by H. E. Krehbiel, and is worked up delightfully in the cantata, and
incessant thudding of a drum in an incommensurate rhythm giving it a deadly

Larghetto, which is often called Indian canzonetta. This movement was
published separately in 1894 by Simrock as op. 100, no. 2. Transcribed in 1910 by Fritz Kreisler
