Additional info/contents	Commissioned by the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, as part of their 50th anniversary celebration. The music was inspired by the dancing and drumming of the Eskimo people. With a program note and a quote by Frank Ellanna, King Island elder. Score; 33 cm; 54 pages; Spiral 'The Time of Drumming demands that an entire orchestra pound the sound into the back wall of the hall... For inspiration, Adams turned to the Yup'ik drumming he has admired since moving to Alaska twenty years ago, and cross-fertilized it with the brute orchestral force of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring''. - Mike Dunham, Anchorage Daily News 'engrossing and irresistible' - Daniel Cariaga, The Los Angeles Times
