Ep. 13 – Songs Between Earth and Sky: Connor Chee’s Three Navajo Preludes

from Piano Pedagogy Playlist · host Luke Bartolomeo

The Navajo composer Connor Chee and his Three Navajo Preludes are the subject of this week's episode. Blending traditional Diné (Navajo) melodies with the expressive language of the Western piano, Chee’s music bridges cultures and traditions — transforming ancient chants into thoughtful, modern piano works. We'll reflect on how Chee’s use of the perfect fourth, his chant-like phrasing, and his spiritual symbolism connect listeners to the natural world — between earth and sky.
