Across the Sky / Peace and Power
A Tribute to Joanne Shenandoah
This song is my heartfelt tribute to my dear friend and colleague Joanne Shenandoah, who sadly passed away in November of 2021 at the age of 64. This stunningly beautiful instrumental combines two of her most popular songs, and is a compelling original arrangement played on Native American flute, with percussion and vocal accompaniment, echoing Joanne's angelic voice. I am honored to share this music.
