Comment(s):
Inngituq (She Sings) is a soundscape that honors the culture of the Inuit people of the Arctic. Musical references to traditional “throat-singing” and “ay-ya” songs are found in the music. The body percussion - stomping, clapping, chest pounding - and drum will add to the authentic experience this piece brings to singers and audience.
