Actress Jane Bradley narrates the story with composer (former MetroHarp President and Treasurer) Alyssa Reit performing on lever harp.
The Lenape Creation is a setting of the beautiful traditional Native American myth, with text based on the version put forth by Hitakonanu'laxk (Tree Beard) in his book "The Grandfathers Speak: Native American Folk Tales of the Lenape People." Both music and text adaptation are by Alyssa Reit; the project was supported by a generous grant from the American Harp Society.
This version is an excerpt to fit the Composer's Voice format.
