Program Notes
Commissioned by the Metropolitan Wind Symphony (Lawrence Isaacson, Music Director) in 2005, the work Suite from China West is written in four movements, and premiered on May 18, 2008, conducted by Lewis J. Buckley at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, MA. The authentic folk music from China West has amazed and inspired the composer to write this piece, which has the folk music elements drawn from the folk songs of Gadameilin and Pastoral of the Meng People; Ashima of the Yi People, Du Mu and Amaliehuo of the Zang People and Dou Duo and the Lusheng ensemble music of the Miao People.
