Sounding Thunder: the Song of of Francis Pegahmagabow

0

Sounding Thunder is a musical journey into the life of Francis Pegahmagabow, renowned Ojibwe WWI sniper and decorated officer in the Canadian military. Composed by Timothy Corlis and written by Ojibwe poet Armand Garnet Ruffo, Sounding Thunder is a work in three acts: Pegahmagabow’s early years in a world imbued with Anishinaabe spirits, his extraordinary accomplishments in the trenches, and his career as political activist and Chief of the Wausauksing Ojibwe. Written for multiple roles, both human and non-human, Sounding Thunder offers Canadian history that is not well known, a fascinating story and a dynamic musical experience.
