Yi, C :: Three Bagatelles from China West
Publisher: Theodore Presser
Theodore Presser presents 'Three Bagatelles from China West' by composer Chen Yi, arranged here for two flutes.
Commissioned by Meet the Composer for flutist Marya Martin, in the Flute Book for the 21st Century project, as a part of MTC's New Music, New Donors program, my work 'Three Bagatelles from China West' is written in three movements, with the original version for flute and piano, and another version for two flutes. 'The authentic folk music from China West has amazed and inspired me to write this piece, which has folk music elements drawn from these sources: the solo piece Shange Diao played on the wind instrument called Lerong, the musical pattern played on the small mouth wind instrument Kouxian of the Jingpo People, the solo piece Nai Guoo Hou played on the wind instrument Bawu, the pitch material sung in the folk song Ashima of the Yi People, the folk song Dou Duo, and the sound effect of the Lusheng ensemble playing of the Miao People.
This work is dedicated to Mr. Gilbert Kaplan, a long time friend of the composer, for his tremendous support to classical music in the world, with deep admiration and respect.'
