This is not a conventional dance, it is the final dance of a warrior preceding death, and it is intense. "If a dying warrior has limited power, his dance is short; if his power is grandiose, his dance is magnificent. But regardless of whether his power is small or magnificent, death must stop to witness his last stand on earth. Death cannot overtake the warrior who is recounting the toil of his life for the last time until he has finished his dance." ---Journey To Ixtlan by Carlos Casatnada. 1st trumpet to high F#. Completed in 1973, recorded in 1982, this slightly edited revision, 2015.
