Composed by Jeremiah Lawson. 21st Century,Classical. Individual part. 18 pages. Jeremiah Lawson #1031408. Published by Jeremiah Lawson (A0.1452092).
Thomas Commuck (1804 to 1855) was a member of the Narragansett tribe and is considered the first Native American to publish a musical work using Western European notation. The work, Indian Melodies, is a shape‐note hymnal published as a contribution to the hymnody of the Methodist Episcopal Church and was published in 1845.
Guitar Sonata on themes by Thomas Commuck is a traditional four‐movement work with an opening sonata movement ("Mooanam"); a double variation form ("Menominie" and "Susquehannah"); a canonic minuet with trio ("Pequot" and "Missouri"; and a closing prelude with fugue ("Flathead"). The melodies are labeled as they appear throughout the score, though not always with reference to their original forms. I made a few gentle modifications to Commuck’s melodies to better facilitate their use in polyphonic textures.
