Chen
Yi’s most
performed and most
beloved choral music is a
series of 10 Chinese folk
songs adapted for
S.A.T.B. Chorus
(published in 3 volumes:
312-41731, 312-41732,
312-41733). This special
version is a setting of
the familiar collection,
adapted for
children’s chorus
and
strings. Remembering
when I studied
composition in the
Central Conservatory of
Music in Beijing, I
learned to sing hundreds
of Chinese folk songs
collected from more than
twenty provinces and
fifty ethnic groups, and
went to countryside to
collect original folk
music every year. I
got to know that the folk
songs are a mirror of
people’s daily
lives, their thoughts and
sentiments, local customs
and manners. They are
sung in regional dialects
and use the idioms of
everyday speech with
their particular
intonations, accents and
cadences. This
correlation between
speech and music
distinguishes folk songs
of one region from
another. I learned
all songs by heart and
sang them back in the
exams every week.Â
They melted in my blood
and became my natural
music language. The
more I walk into the
music life,the more I
treasure the rich culture
I have learned from my
homeland. When I
became the
Composer-in-Residence of
Chanticleer and was
invited to write the
first work for its
concert program, as well
as another version for
its
Singing-In-The-Schools
program, I decided to
introduce A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs to my
American audiences, and
add a new flavor to
Chanticleer’srich
repertoire. The work
includes ten folk songs,
taken from eight
provinces (Anhui,
Shaanxi, Yunnan, Shanxi,
Taiwan, Sinkiang, Jiangsu
and Guizhou) and five
ethnic groups (Han,
Hasake, Uighur, Miao and
Yi). I arranged them
for choirs (men’s
or children’s
chorus) with various
combinations in voices,
to be sung mostly in
Chinese, some in
English.  From the
mysterious mountain songs
originally sung in the
open air with high and
long notes that can carry
over great distances, the
sweet and delicate
melodies of young love
compared with nature, the
humorous antiphony by
little children, and the
lively dancing tune by
villagers, you may get an
idea of various music
styles in Chinese folk
songs according to
geographic, ethnic and
linguistic differences,
and appreciate the beauty
of the Chinese folk
music. The pure choir
sound and the
sophisticated singing by
Chanticleer, in terms of
pitches, language and
musical expressions,
really attract and
inspire me to create some
more new works in the
years to come. In
thisedition of A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs for
standard SATB mixed choir
(with piano rehearsal
score), I divided these
ten songs into three
volumes. They are
Fengyang Song, The
Flowing Stream, Guessing,
Thinking of My Darling,
Mayila, Jasmine Flower,
Riding on a Mule,
Awariguli, Diu Diu Deng,
andMountain Song and
Dancing Tune.—Chen

Based on the
well-known bible text
“Sing unto the Lord
a new song†(Psalm
96:1-3), this upbeat
composition with strong
dynamics and flowing
block chords alternating
with fast-paced polyphony
brings across this joyful
message and enthuses
singers.
“My
music is my own and I
have never tried to be
original. That has always
been my motto and I have
only tried to use music
to express all the
feelings which life has
to offer. This has led
people to describe my
music as ‘so sad
that it sounds like birds
who have lost their
wings‘ but also as
‘the happiest
classical music that we
have ever
heard’. My
compositions are almost
all sacred. They express
not only my own faith but
also my appreciation and
respect for the timeless
texts that have been used
for centuries and
centuries.â€

Terra
Nostra focuses on the
relationship between our
planet and mankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. The
oratorio is divided into
three parts:Part I:
Creation of the World
celebrates the birth and
beauty of our planet. The
oratorio begins with
creation myths from
India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s World” by
Edna St. Vincent Millay,
which describes the world
in exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “On thine
own child” praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O voluptuous
cool-breathed earth!”
Part I ends with “A
Blade of Grass” in
which Whitman muses how
our planet has been
spinning in the heavens
for a very long time.Part
II: The Rise of Humanity
examines the achievements
of mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley Hall” sets
an auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s “Railways
1846,” William Ernest
Henley’s “A Song of
Speed,” and John
Gillespie Magee, Jr.’s
“High Flight,” each
of which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In “Binsey
Poplars,” Gerard Manley
Hopkins takes note of the
effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A Dirge”
concludes Part II with a
warning that the planet
is beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s plight,
re-establish a deeper
connection to it, and
find a balance for living
within our planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the earth’s
plea that ended the
previous section: Lord
Byron’s “Darkness”
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s “Earth
Screaming” gives voice
to the modern issues of
our changing climate; and
William Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too Much
With Us” warns us that
we are almost out of time
to change our course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell Berry’s
“The Want of Peace”
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts (“A
Child said, What is the
grass?” and “There
was a child went forth
every day”) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s “A Blade
of Grass” from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states, “I
bequeath myself to the
dirt to grow from the
grass I love…”My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her?

John 15:13.
There
is no more poignant sight
than the solemn ceremony
of the folded flag. The
dignity associated with
honoring one who has
given the last full
measure of devotion is
rich with tradition and
provides a moment of deep
reverence for those in
grief. This inspiring
anthem presents three
moments with the flag as
it moves from the hands
of grief to soaring and
into the hearts of the
future. The music has a
cinematic scope,
following the text with a
theme that lifts the
message of commitment and
devotion to the heavens.
