Heartbreak Trail

A musical depiction of the forced relocation of over 100,000 Native Americans in the 1830s, this composition is a remembrance of the great human rights atrocity and of this shameful period in American history.  Capturing the sadness of those forced from their homelands while also representing their determination to survive, this musical representation of the ability of the human race to rise above injustice offers many cross-curricular educational opportunities.
