nspired by the writings of Jean Craighead George, and thanks to her support, I have recently completed a musical interpretation of her renowned series of books entitled The Thirteen Moons, from HarperCollins, New York. For this series of books she has based her stories on the Native American calendar, marked by the thirteen moons each year brings to us. She has named each moon after a North American animal and brings to the reader a new appreciation of each one.

The Music of the Thirteen Moons consists of a series of thirteen instrumental pieces, subtlely working through a circle of fourths, each piece evoking the ambiance of its companion book. However, one need not possess the books to fully appreciate the music. It stands alone. From the haunting Moon of the Owls to the frenetic Moon of the Chickarees , the music evokes visions which are limited only by the imagination of the listener. It will delight the most sophisticated listeners, and their children. I hope you will download the excerpts I've offered here and have a listen!

The Music of the Thirteen Moons is available online from amazon.com and also from IUMA ( http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kubiec/from/iuma) or by calling 1- 800- 850 -IUMA. If you would like a copy of my first CD Tocca's Favorite Mix, please leave me a message in the and I'll e-mail you with ordering information. Thanks!
