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

Abram Joseph Ryan
(1838-1886).
Victor
Johnson captures the
mystery and nuance of the
bittersweet poem, Wake Me
a Song, by American poet,
Abram Joseph Ryan.
Nuance, text, and
Johnson's rich harmonies
paired with intertwining
textures make this a
noteworthy addition to
any program. Also
available for SATB Voices
(CM9561). About the
Author Abram Joseph Ryan
was born Matthew Abraham
Ryan on February 5, 1838
in Hagerstown, Maryland.
As a young man, Ryan and
his family moved west St.
Louis, Missouri, where he
was educated at the
Christian Brothers
School. He studied for
the priesthood at Niagra
University in New York
State and was ordained a
priest in the Vincentian
order on November 1,
1856. He taught theology,
first at Niagra
university and then at
the diocesan seminary in
Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
until the beginning of
the war between the
states. Father Ryan
enlisted in the army on
September 1, 1862, and
served as a chaplain
throughout the conflict,
carrying the wounded to
safety and performing
last rites on the
battlefield. His first
piece of poetry was
inspired by the death of
a younger brother while
serving in the army.
After the war, he
established a weekly
literary magazine in
which most of his poetry
was published. He also
put out several volumes
of poetry, including
Father Ryan's Poems and A
Crown for Our Queen.
Father Ryan died on April
22, 1886 at a Franciscan
monastery in Louisville,
Kentucky. About the Song
Wake Me A Song is an
inspired and sensitive
setting of the
19th-century poem by
Abram Joseph Ryan. It
features sweeping melodic
lines, rich harmonies,
and a flowingly beautiful
accompaniment. To master
a performance of this
selection, singers must
perform very
expressively, paying
close attention to such
musical aspects as phrase
shaping, the rise and
fall of the melodic line,
blending and proper
intonation between
sections. One strategy
that could be used to
ensure proper phrasing is
the idea of Painting the
Phrase. The singer should
make a motion as if they
have a paintbrush in
their hand and paint the
melodic line and phrase
shape as if they are
painting with a nice,
flowing brush stroke. One
could think about
painting a rainbow or an
arch to show the rise and
fall of the line and/or
phrase. The director can
also show this gesture
while conducting to
reinforce this
concept. About the
