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.
