Weekly Danso (단소) Performance



방아 타령 (Bang-A Wak)


A folk song from Korea's Kyeonggi province (source Wikipedia).   One source of music for 단소 is 이생강 민속악 단소교본.  For those who can read Korean, I have posted the excerpts of lyrics below.  The excerpt quoted here describes joy of sailing. 

엣다 좋구나.
오초동남 너른 물에
오고가는 상고선은
순풍에 돛을 달고
북을 두리둥실 울리면서
여기 여차 닻감는 소리.

원포귀범이
에헤라 이 아니란 말가.
에헤 에헤 에헤야
어라 우이겨라 방아로구나.

널과 날과 닻이나 감이라 줄을 당기어라.
물때가 막 늦어 간다.

에헤 에헤 에헤야
어라 우리겨라 방아로구나.

Fantaisie-Impromptu



I had recently played this piece at the audition for the Halifax Music Co-op.  I'll probably revisit this piece in the future.  Meanwhile, our first concert in on October 14th and October 15th at 8:00pm.  The detail can be found here.  If you are in the area, would love to see you at the concert.
