Supported by a major commissioning award from the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress, my Chinese Folk Dance Suite is written for violin solo and orchestra, and premiered by The Women's Philharmonic with violin soloist Terrie Baune, conducted by Apo Hsu, on March 10, 2001, at Yerba Buena Center For the Arts Theater in San Francisco. Inspired by various Chinese traditional folk dances, I've composed three movements in the suite: 1) Lion Dance. Traditionally, people dance with richly decorated hand made lions, accompanied by percussion ensemble, to celebrate happy occasions and major festivals throughout the country. In the composition, I use Chinese drum and other percussion instruments in the background, to form a dynamic and rhythmic texture responding to the solo part, which imitates the tunes played on the suona (traditional Chinese trumpet). The pitch materials came from traditional Guangdong Music tune and Chaozhou Music tune ; 2) YangKo. Originated in northern China, it's a major folk dance form in mass performance popularized in the country. In YangKo performance, people always play rhythmic patterns on the drums hung around their waists while singing and dancing. In my second movement, I have imagined a warm scene of YangKo dancing in distance. The solo violin plays a sweet and gracious melodic line while all members in the orchestra sing the non-pitch syllables in different layers as the soft background, to imitate the percussion sound which produces the ever going pulse. 3) Muqam. It is a large scale traditional music and dance form from Uygur nationality in Xinjiang province, originated in the 15th century. In my third movement, I keep the meter of seven eight and the melodic style of Muqam music. The fiery dancing gesture cumulates the sustained climax section at the end of the work, after a colorful violin cadenza in both improvisational singing style and polyphonic writing with woven lines. Scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in Bb, 2 bassoons, 4 French horns in F, 2 trumpets in Bb, 3 trombones, percussion 1 (3 congas, low tom-tom, temple block, paddle castanets), percussion 2 (snare drum, 6 small Beijing opera gong, 12 big Beijing opera gong, crotales, tambourine), percussion 3 (suspended cymbal, a pair of 6 Chinese cymbals, bass drum), solo violin, violins I, violins II, violas, cellos and double basses. Duration is about 16 minutes. The work is recorded on Bis [CD-1352] and released in 2003, performed by Cho-Liang Lin and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, cond. by Lan Shui. Reduction for B-flat soprano saxophone and piano by Wong Tak Chiu (2017) and edited by Chen Yi (2018) The second movement YangKo is premiered by Dr. Wong and Korak Lerpibulchai at the Singapore Saxophone Symposium on 8/13/2017.

Two dances for flute and harp from Peter Maxwell Davies' ballet Caroline Mathilde. A new instrumentation restores this linked pair of dances from Davies's second full-length ballet, Caroline Mathilde based on the story of the eighteenth-century British princess sent in marriage to Denmark, to the eighteenth-century milieu of the work's setting and musical world. The period manners - a gavotte in the first dance, a gigue at the start of the second - are typically overlaid with the composer's Scottishness. In general the harp has an accompanying role, but it comes forward alone in the second movement, which ends with bravura from both instruments. These two dances were first performed in September 1993 at the Northlands Festival by David Nicholson and Eluned Pierce. Score and flute part. Duration c. 5mins. Harp part edited by Elune Pierce.

The special landscape in the Valley of Flowers national park in the Himalayas is distinguished by its brilliant colours and the variety of its _x001D_flora and fauna. Marc Cunningham was deeply in_x001D_fluenced by the temple dances of this region. The theme behind these dances, which were originally religious performances and for which the dancers dress in colourful garb, is the tension between good and evil. In Himalayan Dances - Valley of Flowers, various aspects of this ancient dance form are brought into the spotlight.Marc Cunningham haalde voor deze compositie voor jeugdorkest zijn inspiratie uit het natuurreservaat “Valley of Flowers” in het Himalaya gebied. De kleurenpracht van de fauna en _x001E_flora en de indrukwekkende lokale, oorspronkelijk religieus getinte dansen waren aanleiding tot het componeren van dit inspirerende en contrastrijke werk. Diese besondere Landschaft im Nationalpark Valley of Flowers im Himalaya zeichnet sich durch ihre Farbenpracht und Vielfalt in Flora und Fauna aus. Marc Cunningham war von den Tempeltänzen dieser Region tief beeindruckt. Thema dieser ursprünglich religiösen Tänze, bei denen sich die Tänzer bunt verkleiden, ist das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Gut und Böse. In Himalayan Dances - Valley of Flowers werden verschiedene Aspekte dieser alten Tanzkunst ins Rampenlicht gerückt.Les danses himalayennes ont profondément impressionné le compositeur Marc Cunningham. Les danseurs sont parés de costumes chatoyants et portent des masques colorés. Le fil conducteur de cet art populaire est la distinction entre le bien et le mal. Les minuscules mouvements des yeux, les gestes précis de la main et les expressions faciales jouent un rôle d’interprétation important. Dans l’oeuvre Himalayan Dances, divers aspects de cette danse folklorique sont mis en évidence. Haute en couleurs_x001E_!Le danze della regione dell’Himalaya che hanno profondamente impressionato il compositore Marc Cunningham, traggono ispirazione dalla religione indù, ma non sono più praticate. Esiste però una versione più attuale nella quale le danzatrici, che spesso indossano costumi sgargianti e maschere colorate, si esibiscono in balli spettacolari. Il _x001E_filo conduttore di quest’arte popolare è la distinzione tra il bene e il male. I minuscoli movimenti degli occhi, le gesta precise della mano e le espressioni del viso rivestono un ruolo importante nell’interpretazione. Himalayan Dances evidenzia diversi aspetti folcloristici di questa affascinante cultura.

One of the most influential groups of the late 1960s, Sly & the Family Stone soared up the charts, with a soul/funk/rock sound that captured the sound of an era! With rock guitar riffs, a funk bassline, gospel organ and riveting a cappella vocal break, the song was destined for greatness. A fantastic dance feature for show choirs and pop groups!
