I am offering a free mp3 download of Night
Hawk. You should be listening to it as this page loads. This song is on the Harvest Moon meditation music CD.
I had a lot of fun recording Night Hawk. The beginning of the song features a miniature flute made by my flute maker Jerry
Fretwell. It resembles an Eagle Bone whistle in a way of sound. But it is actually a very very small cedar flute. The miniature
cedar flute is actually a creation of Jerry’s wife Lisa Fretwell.
The remaining portion of the song is played
on a large cedar flute also made by Jerry. The cedar flute can really produce
a warm and mellow sound when played with experienced hands and a warm heart.
Night Hawk reminds me of nights in the
Chequamegon forest listening to the preying birds looking for a meal. The ironic
thing is that the Night Hawk actually hunts and eats during the day and rests at night.
