00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.340 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, and if we have
a little time left,

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:11.340 align:middle line:84%
I will do a shortened
version, which

00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:16.620 align:middle line:84%
I have to do, live voice,
because it doesn't much

00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:17.880 align:middle line:90%
turn up elsewhere.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.020 align:middle line:90%


00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:29.940 align:middle line:84%
And because we're in
Arizona, one of the 17 Horse

00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:35.850 align:middle line:84%
Songs of Frank Mitchell, that I
translated now many years ago,

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:39.120 align:middle line:84%
with the help of great American
ethnomusicologist David

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.730 align:middle line:84%
McAllester, and I'll do
another version of it

00:00:45.730 --> 00:00:48.380 align:middle line:90%
for ALTA on Friday.

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:52.690 align:middle line:84%
But this is the one
I usually perform,

00:00:52.690 --> 00:00:57.580 align:middle line:84%
"The 13th Horse Song of
Frank Mitchell," from Chinle.

00:00:57.580 --> 00:01:06.380 align:middle line:84%
And the myth behind it,
the story behind it,

00:01:06.380 --> 00:01:09.370 align:middle line:84%
that the hero god, Enemy
Slayer, is sent by his mother,

00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:11.770 align:middle line:84%
Changing Woman,
the Earth goddess,

00:01:11.770 --> 00:01:14.830 align:middle line:84%
to the house of his
father the sun god.

00:01:14.830 --> 00:01:21.010 align:middle line:84%
And in the 13th horse song
he imagines how beautiful

00:01:21.010 --> 00:01:26.620 align:middle line:84%
the horses will be when,
in historical time,

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:32.590 align:middle line:84%
they change into real horses,
otherwise the spirit horses,

00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:36.500 align:middle line:90%
the seeds or germs of horses.

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:42.690 align:middle line:84%
So this is a short
version, "The 13th Horse

00:01:42.690 --> 00:01:43.990 align:middle line:90%
Song of Frank Mitchell."

00:01:43.990 --> 00:01:48.910 align:middle line:90%
