distance across our large planet.

He Ear-igami—Richard Meyer. Ear-igami is a fas-
cinating musical tribute to the ancient Japanese
art of paper folding. Instead of a bow, each
performer uses a piece of paper to make sounds
and to "play" their instrument. Your audience
will be entranced as they watch and hear the
variety of effects possible in this charming set of
pentatonic variations. A unique concert selection!

He Fantasia on a Theme from Thailand—Richard
Meyer. This captivating work is a set of variations
on the Pong Lang Dance, one of Thailand's
most popular melodies. The pong lang is like
a xylophone with its wooden keys suspended
vertically on ropes, with the low notes on the
upper end and the high notes at the bottom.
The melody uses the pentatonic scale and is
very simple in nature. The variations expand on
fragments of the original tune in a variety of tempi
and styles that make each new change thrilling!
After this exploration, the original melody returns,
gradually gaining speed and energy as one would
hear in a traditional performance of this dance.

e Irish Junkyard Jam—Brian Balmages. Feat-
uring string quartet and orchestra, this tour de
force follows a few straggling Irish musicians
(the quartet) who find themselves in a junkyard
picking up scrap instruments. As the quartet
begins to find their groove, they are joined by the
rest of the orchestra and the party is on! While not
based on a specific folk song, the piece draws on
elements ranging from a traditional pub band to
Irish step dance. Fun, and playable on acoustic
or electric instruments.

e Jasmine Flower—arr. Douglas Wagner. Here is
a very beautiful setting of the traditional Chinese
folk song Molihua. This tune is a vital part of
Chinese New Year celebrations and was featured
at the 2004 Summer Olympics. The soothing
pentatonic melody is reminiscent of the simple
beauty of the lovely white jasmine blossom
and its delightful scent. Players will encounter
no technical impediments in performance. The
independent piano accompaniment and optional
percussion create the perfect musical landscape
for this multicultural offering. Very nice!

He Maharaja—Doug Spata. Add some sizzle to your
next concert with some Bollywood style! Maharaja
combines rhythms and motifs from Indian music

the sound of tabla drums while finger snaps

flavor. Teachers will appreciate challenging their

throughout the piece and audiences will thrill to
this unique musical experience.
