Badger Warrior - Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute Music

'Badger Warrior' is a flute and hand drum song that I first released on 'Eagle's Journey Into Dawn'. Not many flutists play flute and hand drum songs. I am very fortunate to have been exposed to so many good drummers and singers over the years who helped me to learn how to bring good songs into the world! RR

Kenny G Circular On Practice And The Music Biz

Kenny G talks about practice and the music business. A professional musician has to love to practice. I know I do! It's one of my favorite things to do and I look forward to it. I have several practice sessions a day of at least an hour in length. I practice and study at least three to four hours a day. My time is split between the flute and the guitar as well as piano and traditional style singing. Now you know where the time goes! RR

Fantasy General "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence."

The name of the song is "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence." It's an ancient (400 A.D.) Christian hymn arranged for English to a medieval French tune. I've been studying a guitar arrangement for this song this morning. I think I will really enjoy learning this one. I happened on this recording from an old video game called 'Fantasy General'. I actually enjoy some video game soundtracks! RR

A Fistful of Dollars（1964） - Suite [PART 1]

Ennio Morricone remains one of the most inventive of movie soundtrack composers. In this selection from 'A Fistful of Dollars', he perfectly matches the visual imagery of the movie. The dusty land and the desperate characters come alive when I hear this soundtrack. I also like the classy use of the electric guitar!

Eagle Dance Song - Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute Music

Eagle flies higher than any other other creature so that he can enter the Spirit World while still alive. Eagle does this to deliver all the prayers of all the creatures. As he flies higher and higher, his wings are burned by the heat of the Sun. Hear him screeching in pain as he seeks the hole in the sky which is the entrance to the Spirit World. At long last, after great suffering, Eagle enters the Spirit World and the prayers are brought to Creator. The mission for which he was made has been accomplished. Eagle is a great symbol of steadfast love for Creator and His Creation. Thank you Eagle for being true to your purpose! (HwAn-Pi-Khaw = Ronald Roybal)

Sun Journey - Ronald Roybal - Healing Native American Music

When I was younger, I arose before dawn and went to a promontory in the desert and drew a circle around me. I blessed the 4 Directions as the Sun was born into a new day. I stayed in that circle all day long, fasting and praying and watching the Sun journey across the sky. I saw the Sun battle the forces of darkness until, reddened with many wounds, it returned once more to the Earth. One day, my Body will return to the Earth bearing many wounds but my Spirit will be singing all the way into the Spirit World... (HwAn-Pi-Khaw = Ronald Roybal)

Peyote Song. Blessed Father

Sky Father,
Holy One,
Let all your creation love and honor you.
Give us today what we need,
not what we desire.
Forgive us when we offend you,
remind us to forgive all who offend us.
Lead us on the good road,
pick us up when we stumble and fall.
Aho!

Where The Water Cuts Through - Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute Music

The title of this song is actually the true name of San Ildefonso Pueblo translated from the Tewa language. The guitar represents the Rio Grande that flows through the Pueblo. The flute represents two birds calling to one another. These birds symbolize the Summer and Winter people of the Pueblo. The photographs that I selected for the video represent Pueblo women as the vessels of life that they are. Enjoy!

Dream Warrior - Ronald Roybal - Native American Flute Music

The idea of 'Dream Warrior' actually came to me in a dream. It was a great dream that actually told a very interesting story. The Dream Warrior, in my dream, protects my Song Spirit. He protects my musical gifts from harm so that the music can continue to help the people. This is the song that describes the Dream Warrior that lives in all of us.
