Native American Classical Music

I already own the following compact discs of classical music based on Native American themes and/or concepts:

American Indianists (Dario Muller) Koyaanisqatsi [1982] (Philip Glass) Koyaanisqatsi [1998] (Philip Glass) Night Of The Mayas (Silvestre Revueltas) Sensemaya (Silvestre Revueltas) Two World Concerto (R. Carlos Nakai) United States Live (Laurie Anderson)

Further suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Check out Tommy Wildcat, a traditional Cherokee flutist from Oklahoma.

It, of course, would depend upon you defiinition of 'classical music'.

I would include the entire canon of Indian House Records from the 1970-90s.

I would include many of the Folkways Records from the 1940s.

The living composer Greg Steinke has made many pieces of contemporary classical music in the last 20 years that use Native American imagery and/or musical themes, mostly from Northern U.S. tribes; some of the pieces have been released on CD. He's currently Dean of Music at Marylhurst University in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and can be reached there.
