Drums of the Saamis chronicles the merger of the First Nation (first natives) and modern Albertan cultures. The opening tribal drums followed by the haunting melody simulating the traditional wooden flute comprise two themes that are thefoundation for the entire piece. Both elements are developed, varied and enhanced throughout as the listener senses the increasing influence of modern day Alberta, Canada, through the use of modern sounding chords and rhythms. By the end, themarriage of the old and the new is complete.
