Junyi Tan, ComposerMilen Nachev, ConductorThis playful and sprightly piece comes from a remote village deep in the hills of China’s countryside. For countless generations, it has been home to the Hmong people, whose lineage traces back thousands of years. Brisk drumbeats and phrases passing swiftly between sections echo the rapid footsteps of this ethnic dance style that is so unique to the Hmong. And as a bonus, in this rendition the conductor plays an instrument as well.
