Dream of Naksongdae
Snyder, R

The composer lived in Naksongdae, South Korea during the summer of 1993 and conceived the work while studying the Taegum, the bamboo transverse flute so important to Korean traditional music. This colorful composition was originally written for the Taegum, and now transcribed for the modern flute, still retains the flavor of the Korean instrument through the various use of vibrato, microtonal shadings, and glissandi.

This concept of this music is derived from an ancient Korean legend surrounding the birth of Kang Kam-ch'an, the famous general of the Koryo dynasty who defended Korea invasions from the Ch'i-tan, defeating them in a decisive battle in 1018. According to the legend, just before the birth of Kang, his mother saw a shooting star (Naksong in Korean) and interpreted this as a sign of her future son's destiny as a great leader.
