Traditional Chinese Folk
Song.
One of the
most enduring Chinese
melodies dating back to
the Ming Dynasty, this
arrangement of Feng Yang
Song, or Flower Drum
Song, will provide
technical development,
listening skills, and is
just beautiful. Arranged
by Bob Phillips using the
G and D major pentatonic
scales, the sounds that
might have been heard
centuries ago are
well-represented in the
strings. All sections
play the melody as well
as accompaniment parts in
pizzicato or as
percussive taps on the
top of their instruments
using the finger pads of
the left hand. Correlated
to Sound Innovations for
String Orchestra, Book 2,
Level 2. (2:30) This
